Re: TSM vs V5R4

Hi Rob

I hate to nitpick, but wouldn't it be more more accurate to say that 
there is no support for the i5 to operate as a TSM server ?

While I can understand that this is pretty annoying, it seems to me 
that support for a TSM client only is a far cry from *NO* TSM support

Evan Harris

P.S. I know that BRMS is not actually a TSM client strictly speaking...
