This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

GFS2 File systems are not supported with TSM currently and would like to see if we could enhance the support in future TSM versions. We are running TSM server version 6.2.4 now ( will be upgrading to 6.3 by next month) and client version used is 7.1.2. For clustered GFS2 file systems, the backup excludes it and if we add the paths separately in dsm.opt, it takes the backup but not in the GFS2 format.
