Request to run TSM Server on Solaris11

We want you to add Solaris11 as a supported platform for TSM Server.
In FUJITSU business negotiations, there are many requests to run
TSM Server on Solaris11. However, at present TSM server does not support Solaris11 as a supported platform. For this reason, we often fail negotiations.
Customers still select other backup software than TSM.

FUJITSU is making efforts to sell the server machine in which Solaris11 runs and expects business negotiations about TSM Server on Solaris11 to be increased in the future.
We would like to ask you to respond to this TSM server/Solaris11 matter as soon as possible so that we may not fail these negotiations.

    Thank you for submitting this request. Unfortunately, DB2 has a restriction and does not presently support Solaris 11. Therefore, TSM server support for Solaris 11 cannot be fulfilled until the DB2 restriction is lifted.
