Hi Steven,

this is a link to IBM and compatibility between TSM and (VCB/VADP)
You can find you information here : 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itsm.client.doc/r_techchg_client_vmware_620.html

This link is about new functionnality on TSM 6.2 and you can jump on the other 
explanation (How to make backup ...)

VDAP is a VMWare functionality, if you want configure it, you must go at VMWare 
! :)

For save à 5.5 Client you must use VCB and for 6.2 you can use VDAP.

Best regards,

Yann MEUNIER

Objet : [ADSM-L] TSM support for VADP

Will a proxy server still be required with VM Image backup using TSM or with 
the use of the VADP will it read directly from vCenter and know where to find 
the vmdk's (VM'S) to snapshot?

Will TSM also allow for disk to tape (Direct to Target) backup or will be 
disk-to-disk-target, like it is when using VCB?

Where is IBM's configuration documentation for setting up TSM to work with 
VADP? I can't seem to find any documents for configuring and setting up using 
VADP. The Step by Step install.

I am running TSM Server 5.5.3 with Clients running (5.5.x - 6.2.x). My goal is 
to perform Image only of the VM's and then let the Client perform file level 
backups and restores through the GUI.

Thanks,
Boltergiest
