IBM has a stripped down version of TSM that executes on zOS that does the actual tape I/O. TSM on another platform connects to the TSM running on zOS. According to IBM, TSM on zOS is a no-charge version as long as you're licensed for TSM elsewhere.

After IBM stabilized TSM for z/OS at the 5.5 level, we deployed a
hipersocket-connected RHEL Linux for z image where we currently run TSM
6.2. What's nice is that we can still use TSM clients on z/OS for both
backup and administrative purposes and TSM still uses host-attached tape
drives.
How did you pull off using host-attached tapes when IBM says TSM on Linux for 
System z doesn't support that?
