The IBM-supplied TSM butc support relies on a XBSA (an OpenGroup standard) 
compatibility library that was not updated past version 6.1 of the TSM client 
on HP/UX, Solaris SPARC and AIX. Linux and Solaris x86 were never supported for 
the XBSA-based client. A fairly substantial amount of work would be needed to 
bring that support up to the current client levels (basically recoding to 
support the native TSM API). There was some discussion about doing that circa 
2009, unclear if anything happened with that. 

There is a redbook on database backups with TSM in which the source for a tool 
called ‘adsmpipe’ was included – use of that tool in combination with ‘vos 
dump’ might provide an interesting avenue to pursue. 
(http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/abstracts/redp3980.html). 

The original IBM docs for AFS support with TSM are here:
