Depends on what you mean by "mainframe world". If you are referring to a TSM client for USS on zOS, then the answer is yes. See
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&uid=swg21052 224&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en If you are referring to a TSM client for zOS datasets, such as VSAM, BDAM, and the like, then the answer is no. The fact that the TSM server runs on zLinux is coincidental, as is the FCP support in that environment.

Hi, Mainframe FICON adapters support Fibre Channel protocol. Does it mean z/Linux and consequently TSM for z/Linux can handle backups of both mainframe and open worlds? Thanks
