Yes, better with AIX than with Solaris. AIX has traditionally been
the leading *SM server platform, but that should be changing since
Tivoli owns TSM now.
As far as the # of users on which OS, AIX far outweighs Solaris.

Subject: Platforms for TSM
Currently, we are running TSM 3.7 on MVS. Since we are phasing out
this platform, I am looking to move TSM to either SUN (Solaris)
or IBM (AIX). We have good expertise on Solaris and very little on
AIX. Also, we are using an IBM 3494 Tape Library with 3590-B1As.
My question are: What are users experiences with running TSM under
Solaris and AIX? Is support better under AIX then with Solaris?
How do I find out how many server licenses have been issued for
SUN vs RS/6000 platforms?
Should I be considering another platform?
Any other issues that may be relevant?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
