It does. The IBM Spectrum Protect clients support SLES 15 for IBM Z (and LinuxONE). From what I can find, IBM declared client support for SLES 15 starting with Spectrum Protect Version 8.1.6, released in September, 2018. My recollection is that SLES 15 became available sometime in July, 2018. So IBM only took about 60 days to add SLES 15 as an officially supported Spectrum Protect client. For the record, the IBM Spectrum Protect servers are not yet officially IBM supported on SLES 15, as I write this. SLES 12 for IBM Z / LinuxONE, and various other platforms and releases, are officially IBM supported. I presume that SLES 15 support is around the corner, but please ask IBM through its official channels.

CommVault does support Linux on Z, but I too see they haven't added SLES 15 for IBM Z ("s390x") yet to their various platform lists. You might ask them when they plan to add SLES 15 to their lists. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
