Hi,
It is my understanding that FlashCopy Manager for VE will do local backup only.
In order to offload these backups to TSM, you would need to also install TSM for
VE.  Both products are needed to send the TSM FCM for VE to TSM.  Conversly, TSM
for VE can send backups to TSM without FCM for VE.

Hi
  Thanks you for your recommendation. But I confused because I found this
parameters detail in the TSFCM for VMware3.1 user guide as below. I have some
questions.

1. Does TSFCM for VMware offload backup can work without VC plugin (Using
command line only)?
2. How TSFCM for VMware communicate with the machine which installed TSM for VE
to perform offload backup to TSM?


VE_TSM_SERVER_NAME
This parameter specifies the name of the Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual
Environments server that is used for user data backups. See Note 1


VE_TSM_SERVER_PORT
This parameter specifies the port of the Tivoli Storage
Manager for Virtual Environments server. See Note 1
Default (1500)
