Our experience in the last 4 months is both are equally supported. You might have had an isolated case. In fact, server patches for AIX and Windows come at the same time and the client on Windows appears to be the most likely to get fixed quicker.

Putting all the OS/HW dogma aside, IBM/Tivoli doesn't support TSM on NT as seriously as it does on other, more 'expensive' platforms. Earlier this year, we discovered a serious (fatal actually) flaw with TSM on WinNT 4. TSM would hang each and every time a platter was unmounted from a drive in a 3995-C66 optical library. The bug was reported the same day it was discovered, and escalated to management within a week. The answer Tivoli gave was "wait for the next maintenance release". It took four weeks. On larger, more expensive platforms, patches of this sort are of a higher priority. Why? Because the customer running on more expensive hardware likely spent the extra money for a higher level of performance. I doubt I would have waited more than two or three days of the problem I described had appeared on AIX. -JD. >We are considering installing TSM server, and are being 'encouraged' to >run it on AIX but are a little cold to the idea.
