Hi,

for ESX, you may want to contact an certified VMWARE partner
or directly an VMWARE sales representative.
They can give you official information you are searching for
in contrast to informations from the forum.
Alternatively, contact an IBM/Tivoli sales representative.

"My" representative tells me TSM would be supported and 
can positively prove it works like a breeze.

I am telling here about TSM ESX client 
(aimed to backup whole W2K instances)
in contrast to TSM/W2K which obviously does not need anyting
specific if run under W2K which runs under ESX in turn.

regards
Juraj Salak

Betreff: TSM and VMWARE


Like many companies, we are attempting to consolidate
multiple Wintel servers into VM's using VMware. Does
anyone know if IBM supports TSM 5.2 servers and
clients running under VMware? I see on VMware's web
site that IBM is a "software alliance partner" and TSM
is listed as supported. I can't find any IBM site that
states this as being true, or the VMware/TSM
combinations that are supported or tested. I don't
want to get into a situation were I will have to
recreate a TSM problem in a standalone environment in
order to get support. Is anybody running this
combination and received support from TSM?

Many thanks,
Rod Hroblak
