It all depends on what you want I guess. Running the BA-client with an 
alternate dsm.opt is quite simple, but if you want the benefits of the TSM4VE 
GUI, then you’ll most likely wind up with multiple VM’s running TSM4VE, one for 
each vCenter.

Without much knowledge of SPP, I would bet 10 cents that you’ll need multiple 
SPP servers for multiple vCenters.
