Support for Ubuntu 22.04

We have a customer who wishes to use Ubuntu Server version 22.04 with Storage Protect and FC attached TS4300 with LTO9 drives. Whilst the interop for SP suggests that this code level is supported, the SSIC for the TS4300 shows the latest support with 20.04.

We need to have latest Operating systems supported by both Storage Protect and the storage hardware.

    Thank you for your request regarding the need for updated support for Ubuntu. Unfortunately this requires several resources and the market opportunity is not sufficient to maintain this operating system.

    At this time customers can submit a SCORE RPQ for getting support on a production configuration that is not listed for standard support in the IBM System Storage Interoperation Center through the following link-> https://www-40.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/scorerpq/int/logon.do
