TSM repository server is not supported as catalog backup target for SPP+ (enable catalog backup to repository server)

Using the SPP+ gui you can select a TSM repository server as a target for catalog backup for SPP+. I have opened a call with IBM support  (TS013178083) because at 10.1.14-217 release at least of SPP+ no matter how you configure the TSM S3 repository SPP+ responds with the following. 

c.c.e.s.protection.catalog.protection.DestinationHandler Failed to find matching storage server
c.c.e.serviceprovider.common,storage.vsnap.VsnapStorageProvider StorageClient is destroyed
c.c.e.s.protection.catalog.protection.DestinationHandler Failed to find storage server for site :3

Having OSSM is very useful, but If I can't get the SPP+ catalog to tape for offsite (disaster recovery) SPP+ has no value to me at all.

I have opened a call on this with IBM (TS013178083) and support has been able to reproduce.

EVEN though this is a selectable item on the gui it does not work.

Either make it work or take it out of the gui, but without this function, SPP+ is of NO value to a client with one site that requires disaster recovery
