Kelly, What about TDP licensing in this model? Is IBM licensing those via physical or virtual CPUs? (e.g. Assuming 5 Oracle servers running inside VMs on a single-CPU ESX box, am I paying for one CPU
One; licensing is by physical cores. Throw up as many VM clients as you want; you still just pay for the cpus (cores) on the physical box. On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 7:18 PM, cpreston <tsm-forum AT back

Just to be clear -- that includes TDP licenses? There was a question today on the list ( http://tinyurl.com/47zjbe ) where at least one of the answers seemed the opposite of what you're saying, and a
And if Wanda confirms what I say, I know I'm right! BTW, adoption rates of folks using TSM for VMware are higher at this point based on response to our agent. That is good. If many folks use TSM to b
I just got back from Sterling Forest, NY. We did a small D/R test on our system. We started using VCB to backup or VM's and today I think we decided to try another method or a combination. I'm just t
Bill, In version of 4 of the VCB stuff, we're being told that you will be able to save a step. That's a bit away for you. We're also in the process of writing that functionality into our code to avoi

FYI - the waters get even murkier when you start down the VCB path. Try posing this scenario to your Tivoli rep: all VMWare guest backups have been offloaded to VCB proxy servers, and the TSM client
The license for the TSM client in this case is based upon the VCB proxy server running the TSM client. Kelly Lipp ________________________________________ From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [ADSM-L AT VM.

That depends on who you talk to - some Tivoli reps will say that the VMWare host cores need licenses as well. -steve The license for the TSM client in this case is based upon the VCB proxy server run

Steve's response does make more sense, due to the fact that you are backing up the VMware server, not just the VCB, and not licensing the VMware host would cut seriously into IBM's profits. However,

Our VAR says they went over this extensively with Tivoli (several iterations) and the result: You only need to license the CPUs of the proxy server if you back it up; you MUST license all the cpu cor

We were told by our IBM rep that we had to license each ESX host that could possibility host the virtual machine. Kevin Steve's response does make more sense, due to the fact that you are backing up

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just issue q lic and pay X$ for each Managed System, or to issue a q auditocc, sum up the Total Storage Used column and multiply by X$ per MB or GB or TB. There must b

Here's where I could see this being true: You have an active/active cluster of VMware servers that each run a few VMs and receive other VMs in the event of a failure. Where this would NOT be true: Yo

Hey, you asked... :) Ha! I'm about ready to use all of this here disposable income that I don't have to pay because of VCB and buy from Kelly. I'm not really happy with our setup... Yeah... This post

Early returns on the quick survey: I have about 10 responses so far. Keep them coming if you care to. My conclusion at this point is that the intersection between TSM and VMware is relatively small.
