    Red Hat 8 is supported
    Note that the CPU is called s390x or zLinux

    There are also a way to enhance the data protection for Oracle databases as well as others by installing the SPFS product

    SPFS is an agentless data protection solution from spictera
    it makes it possible to mount the IBM Spectrum Protect storage as a filesystem
    eg
    # mount -t spfs /archive

    https://www-50.ibm.com/partnerworld/gsd/solutiondetails.do?&solution=56435

    Here you can decide if you want to use
    RMAN to backup your database data via the TDP, or through the mount point of SPFS

    The transactional data (archive logs), can be integrated with the archive process in Oracle so that each archive log is protected immediately when it is created
    Just add archive_log_destNN = /archive
    or wherever you want it

    One can have many different archive log destinations too, for example one in Paris and one in Manila, using different IBM Spectrum Protect servers

    Anyhow
    Good luck with your migration
    regards Tomas
