Anyone got a ring to throw into whether or not it's best to run Linux or AIX in an lpar on a System i to run TSM? Linux sounds nice because of that word "free" that keeps floating around. And, in theory, any script kiddie can download it and run it at home, thus flooding the market with Linux talent. Not really sure how much it would cost to add an AIX lpar to a 570-7748 iSeries (software wise - I realize there will be considerations for RAID controllers, etc).
Of course the real question is: Is AIX that much more reliable to run TSM on than Linux? Rob Berendt -- Group Dekko Services, LLC Dept 01.073 PO Box 2000 Dock 108 6928N 400E Kendallville, IN 46755 http://www.dekko.com
