tsm ("Tivoli Storage Manager" which is now "IBM Spectrum Protect") is used by a single application (archives). The installation of the current client with bee on all systems would be much more complex now than it was in the past, because - there is now a plugin machinery where shared libraries get loaded at runtime. So it is no longer trivial to see, which libraries are needed. A complete installation, on the other hand, consists of about 600 files which seems to be kind of overkill when these files get distributed to and backed up on each system. - the client maintains more "local" data like keys generated for the client and certificates downloaded from the server. These maintained files, of course, would need to be special handled, otherwise they would be overwritten by the distmaster. This would require a lot of reverse engineering to identify everything and special code to handle it. For our only application using tsm, I've created a installation in its project directory (at /confidential/archive/tsm ). The tsm backup and archive client is no longer needed in the system. So remove it. It binary anyway.
