The current 64 bits client is a IA64 client, so you cannot use it for the
x86-64 Windows.

In x86-64 Windows the drivers and services MUST be 64-bits, so i don't
expect that the TSM Server and Scheduler runs under 64 bits Windows. But if
you use an other scheduler (The Windows own scheduler is very stable :-)) i
can't find a reason why it could not work.

But what stops you for trying and telling us ;-)

Subject: [ADSM-L] Windows x64 support


Is anyone backup up Windows x64 with TSM yet?  I looked at the latest
readmes and I didn't see any mention specifically of x64.

For more information on what x64 is see:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/64bit/bulletin.mspx

Basically it is a version of windows that will run both 32 bit and 64 bit
applications.

The "Tivoli Field Guide - Tivoli Storage Manager Recovery Techniques Using
Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE)" mentions x64 so I'm
assuming Tivoli has tested on it.  I'm just wondering if it is officially
supported to run the 32 bit TSM client on this system?  Also, are there
plans to create a 64 bit client for it?

I see that someone else has posted a question to this list twice in June but
there were no responses on adsm.org that I could find.

Kyle
