It does. The IBM Spectrum Protect clients support SLES 15 for IBM Z (and
LinuxONE). From what I can find, IBM declared client support for SLES 15
starting with Spectrum Protect Version 8.1.6, released in September, 2018.
My recollection is that SLES 15 became available sometime in July, 2018. So
IBM only took about 60 days to add SLES 15 as an officially supported
Spectrum Protect client.

For the record, the IBM Spectrum Protect servers are not yet officially IBM
supported on SLES 15, as I write this. SLES 12 for IBM Z / LinuxONE, and
various other platforms and releases, are officially IBM supported. I
presume that SLES 15 support is around the corner, but please ask IBM
through its official channels.

By the way, the IBM Infrastructure Suite for z/VM includes IBM Spectrum
Protect.

CommVault does support Linux on Z, but I too see they haven't added SLES 15
for IBM Z ("s390x") yet to their various platform lists. You might ask them
when they plan to add SLES 15 to their lists.
