Re: end of support tsm 5.5 on z/os ?
Yes, zLinux rings a bell. However, if you don't already have tape and/or disk infrastructure in place for it, or if you don't have sufficient excess capacity in what you do have, you will have to purchase them, as there is no good way to share these resources between z/OS and z/Linux. And yes, I'm aware that you could carve out part of your disk from z/OS and assign it to z/Linux, but that doesn't take into account the duplicate disk you'd need on both sides of the house while migrating from one platform to another. I have expressed my displeasure in this situation to TSM product managers. Norman, I'd suggest you do the same. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Remco Post Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 6:06 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] end of support tsm 5.5 on z/os ?

Re: end of support tsm 5.5 on z/os ?
Starting with version 5.4, TSM uses a 5 +3 life cycle, which means that it will remain in general support for (a minimum of) 5 years. After that, you can, at your option, purchase a maintenance extension for another 3 years. Thus since TSM 5.5 GA'd in December of 2007, you can count on it being supported via regular maintenance through at least December 2012. As Dwight pointed out, you can consult the IBM product life cycle page for more detailed information, but no official EOS date has been announced for 5.5 yet. Versions 5.3 and earlier has a 3 + 2 life cycle.
