OK, That looks interesting. Be aware here that we have a mainframe guy

You might have a better view since you look from a different angle
and:
AIX is going to have the same features as a mainframe 20 years ago ;-)


The *** that I got with "requirememts" (more like "would like to
have") includes the following features:

Integrate with Active Directory (Good luck here!)
LDAP ( Openldap ) . Comes also with AIX

and
Integrate with Oracle
Oracle is supported on AIX ( AIX v6.1 i do not know )
....
Tape management (protect tapes with live data, and provide a vaulting
function)
....
We use TSM for backups here already, and we use vaulting.... but the
vaulting function does not do "slotting" to reduce the (physical) size
of the offsite library.

Do you use the DR option ? In conjunction with reclamation the tapes
in the vault will be reduced. Otherwise you will end in a nightmare if
you have todo a DR recovery because of having hundred of tapes used
only with a few percents.
So you should check the current TSM configuration as well.

Thanks,
You are well come
