We're looking into hosting multiple small TSM servers in virtual
machines running inside a VMware ESX server. We would like to
do fully disk based backup using sequential disk storage pools.

However, after some googling, I found the paper

        Tivoli Storage Manager on VMware

by Tom Hepner which states that this is _not_ supported at the moment.

The paper is about 1 year old.

Does somebody know if this has changed during the past year?
