I wonder how many of you have encountered this problem.
Environment:
TSM server on AIX 6.1 running TSM server 5.5.5.2
TSM BA client version running on TSM Proxy server - 6.2.3.3
TSM for VE version: 6.2
ESXi 4.1
VM version 7
Problem:
When running full Image backup of a Guest server on the ESXi host (the guest server is the VCenter) even the White spaces are being backed up. On other Guest partitions, the white spaces are not backed up. Simply put, the VCenter image backup is based on the total disk space assigned even if 3/4 of the space is empty while the image backup for all others is just what is occupied.
The only difference is that the VCenter access the local disk on the host ESXi server while other guest partitions access the SAN disk assigned to the host ESXi server.
It seems that Change Block Tracking is not working as expected.
As far as I know there is no APAR opened or listed for this issue.
Has anyone seen or working on a similar issue?
