The MVS FMID is HDN5532 for the client and HDN5533 for the API. This will only backup your HFS and ZFS that are mounted to Unix Services. This will not backup any MVS datasets.

We also have an IBM z/OS mainframe, V1R4 which has been independently backing itself up using (i believe) dfshsm straight to some ancient 3490E drives. We're running into problems fast with this backup scenario, and this is the first time i've caught wind of this. So, my question is that I see that TSM documentation for Unix clients 5.2.2 has this page: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/TSMC/GC32-0789-04/en_US/HTML/ans 5000031.htm#oece Therefore, I conclude that IBM does have a z/OS binary out there that can connect to our AIX TSM server. Can anybody verify this, please? Our mainframe people are checking on this now, but I have a feeling I'd get a quicker answer from this list. Is there a specific avenue that we have to navigate through in order to license this client? Is there any other strategy to backup our z/OS server without having to buy expensive hardware just to back it up? According to our reseller, we'd have to expand our 3584 library with 3590 drives just to backup the mainframe. But we'd really like to just add more LTO-based drives, and the easiest way to do that would be with mainframe connectivity to our existing TSM server. Is there any reason why we can't or shouldn't go this route? Thanks for your help Sergio
