Data Domain & TSM Integration - Pre-requisites

[sramb1]

Can we install TSM on a Virtual Machine and can we integrate it with Data Domain? Or do we need a physical server for this?

Hi,

You did not wrote which hypervisor You are using. Not in all hypervisors tape attached libraries (which VTLs are) are supported when TSM runs as virtual machine.

Please look at this compatibility matrix: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21239546

Hi,

You do not provided Us what hypervisor You are using. Please see IBM tech note: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21239546 where is list for supported tape attached libraries (like VTL) in different virtual environments.
