Hello again.

TSM Server 7.1.1 AIX,  TSM VE 7.1.1 linux X64

I have an application that needs to co-ordinate the taking of their TSM for VE 
backups with their housekeeping.  It's a large distributed postgres database 
and they want to shut down the database on all members of the cluster and 
trigger a snapshot backup across them all once a week to get a consistent 
restore point.

vSphere web client is not an option, and neither is running a dsmc command on 
the vbs. Neither do we want to give them access to run a clientaction on the 
TSM Server.

Is there any known way to trigger a TSM for VE backup on demand? I'm thinking 
that VMware  PowerCLI could be the mechanism here, but would be pleased to hear 
of any other.

Thanks

Steve
