One reason you won't find much about this, is that TSM makes it very
easy to run more than one TSM server instance on a single OS image. This
will be inherently more efficient than virtualization via VMware, Sun
LDOM, IBM z/VM, or IBM pSeries LPAR. Instructions are in the TSM
Installation Guide and Administrators Guide.
