Need support of Power 8/9 Compression HW chip on AIX Client for TSM Client

Hello
we have implemented a new Backup LAN with CISCO ACI Network 40 GBit and made backup over this seperate lan to tsm server
We need to do a compression on the TSM Client side because the TSM Servers has currently not the capabilities to store uncompressed data for any cost internal reason. We found out if we start many parallel sessions in our tests we need up to 18 !!! Power 8 cores on a E880 server and the reason why is that the TSM Client on AIX is not using the Power 8 embedded HW compression chip which is on each Power 8 and 9 server available.
Could you please add this HW support in the TSM Client ?
Best regards

    IBM has evaluated the request, and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time or does not align with the current multi-year strategy. This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the date of submission. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.
