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.

As Ubuntu is supported as a Server OS for Storage Protect the OC should also be available.
With a minimum of hacking the Operations Center works just fine in Ubuntu Linux.
The "hack"
install OC using the bypass flag.
ksh ./install.sh -c -vmargs -DBYPASS_TSM_REQ_CHECKS=true
Open the firewall for port 11090
ufw enable
ufw allow 11090,22
The Startscript for OC , opscenter.rc, is located this directory /opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/bin so copy it to /etc/init.d/opscenter.rc.
It does not work with systemd, runlevel in Debian is sometimes 2 and some more needs fixing to enable it.
So add the following after line 2 in the script:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: opscenter.rc
# Required-Start: $all
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Starts/Stops an IBM Spectrum Protect OC server
### END INIT INFO
Then run:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable opscenter.rc
opscenter.rc.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable opscenter.rc
systemctl start opscenter.rc

Yes, the Server can run on Ubuntu, so the OC should also be supported on that operating system
