According to the TSM 6.3 VE install guide, It supports Instant restores of
volumes only. Not the Full VM's.
Using the TSM recovery agent, you mount the desired disk snapshot and it's
instantly available.

I just ran into this Field Guide, which shows how to perform an instant
restore of a full VM.  It creates a iSCSI target, which appears like a
datastore to vCenter, and you just migrate the VM off of it.    Has anyone
heard of this or tried this before?  It doesn't look like its a process
described in any other documentation.
