Re: [ADSM-L] tsm and hyperv servers

Is anyone using TSM on Server 2012 HyperV to backup their VM's this way?  We 
are looking into DPM, but not liking that product, and have found this with TSM:

This covers Server 2008, anything on Server 2012 out there yet?

Are the guests backed up by their own TSM client installs on each guest?

I must admit I've not reviewed any of the HyperV configuration details.  I do 
know that VMware is complex.

To clarify, the issue is not with the HyperV servers that own the hyperv guests 
but its with the actual guests hanging.
 
Thanks,

Yes.....  significant hangs.

TSM Server at 6.2.4.
TSM Client is 6.3.0.

I'm not the HyperV manager, but I do know that D$ on that host holds the 
virtual servers.

If TSM client attempts to backup D$ the process stalls and never finishes.

I don't know what, if any, work has been done by the node manager other than 
exclude D$ as the immediate solution.  The exclusion allows the backup to 
complete, but obviously the virtual servers aren't in the backup.

I just saw the advice re "vssadmin list writers".

Is anyone experiencing an issue with using TSM to back up HyperV servers, These 
servers seem to stop during the scheduled backups for no apparent reason.
