I've been doing some research on using TSM with VCB. Here is what I've found so far:


Need 32bit TSM client version 5.5.0.4 or later

  • You must configure the VCB proxy server to see the same SAN space as your VI3 server uses to store images
  • The VCB proxy server must not "claim" the SAN hard drive when it "sees" it. So, be certain to configure appropriately.
  • Host File level backups with VCB and TSM do not require any additional space on the VCB proxy machine.
  • Image file backups of the hosts does require space on the VCB proxy--your largest VM size on disk.

I haven't tried any backups yet. We are still configuring the environment. I'll let you know how the backup and restore goes when we try it.
