I actually found the manual to be very helpful and direct.  I prefer the
PDF form.  I'm not a fan of the newer infocenter format.

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r3/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itsm.nav.doc%2Fr_pdf_ve.html


I set it up step-by-step as the manual describes and it is working well.
You just need to play around with it to make sure you understand the
concepts.  (I.E. Data Center nodes, the way you restore using the recovery
agent by using a virtual mount, etc)

Just make sure you do the "diskpart" thing on your backup proxy.  Things
should be pretty safe after you've done that.  (search the PDF for
diskpart)

Shawn

Re: [ADSM-L] Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments






Ken,

My VMWare guy has the most questions.  Can I forward your direct email
address to him?

I too will have questions from the TSM/server side since I have never
setup anything like this.  Seems like LAN-FREE is the way to configure but
I have never done anything like that, either.

I have install the TSM for VE v6.3 and I am interested what you would
expect to see in the 'cookbook'. What I hear discussed the most is the
architectural choices that you can make using TSM for VE, like whether to
use client-side de-dupe, LAN-free, virtual or physical data movers, etc.
Once you figure out what you want to make, the recipe is straight forward.
Sort of like cooking eggs, lots of different methods but it's still the
same egg and close to the same taste.
