We are currently running TSM server version 7.1.5.0 on Windows and have Data Protection for VMware version 7.1.6.2 installed. Our current VMware version is 5.5

We will be upgrading to version 6.5 of VMware in the near future and I was looking for any helpful information on steps required to upgrade the data protection for VMware version up to version 8.1.0

Any known 'gotchas' to be aware of?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Chris

The one I have just hit (accually logged on here to confirm it :p ) is that If I have Virtual machine hardware v7 with vmtools 8xxxx and older it does not backup. If vm hw version is 8 and vmools >= 9 it works fine with 8.1.2.
I have some "old" datamovers running on 7.1.6 and they can back up v7 vms... I can't find anything about it in knowledge center. When I confirm it I'll update this post.
