Robert, you might use the -vm parameter to exclude certain VMs in your DSM.OPT 
file.
DOMAIN.VMFULL VMHOSTCLUSTER=CLUSTER_NAME;-VM=VM_TO_EXCLUDE1,VM_TO_EXCLUDE2

Also, in your DSM.OPT file you can add INCLUDE.VMDISK options to specifically 
target VM disks you want (which excludes the other disks you do not 
specifically include).
INCLUDE.VMDISK EXACT VM NAME GOES HERE "Hard Disk 1"

Disk(s) not specifically included restore blank at their full size during a 
full VM restore.  I forget if a way exists to prevent the other disks from 
restoring in a full restore.

If you see issues with VM backups or restores, you might also consider adding
testflag VMBACKUP_UPDATE_UUID
to your DSM.OPT file to force the backup to save the UUID every time you 
perform a VM backup.

Good luck!

Subject: [ADSM-L] VM backup question

Hi to all

I have a VMware farm with around 300 VM machines and I try to figure the best  
way to configure the backup with TSM for VE V7.1.4 .


1.       Need to backup for all the machines the "Hard disk 1"

2.       Our structure don't let us to do it with VMfolder , think about 
domain.vmfull vmdatastore= data1.,data2, etc....

3.       Need for some VM machines to backup all disks or at least more than 
"Hard disk 1" ,  and some machines not to back up at all

Any help will be appreciated ....

Best Regards

Robert
