Support TSM 7.x on Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The newest version of RHEL (v7) was released on June 10th 2014. Since this new version uses the xfs filesystem as default, and this filesystem offers up to 500TB filesystems out-of-the-box.

In contrast even the newest versions of RHEL v6 (that is supported by IBM as host for a TSM Server) only offers up to 16TB ext4 based filesystems without having to purchase additional products from RedHat.

    Thank you for submitting this request. This is being targeted for a release though this should not be taken as statement of commitment as plans and intent are subject to change. We will update the RFE when we deliver the support or our plans change.
