I actually found the manual to be very helpful and direct. I prefer the PDF form. I'm not a fan of the newer infocenter format.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r3/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itsm.nav.doc%2Fr_pdf_ve.html I set it up step-by-step as the manual describes and it is working well. You just need to play around with it to make sure you understand the concepts. (I.E. Data Center nodes, the way you restore using the recovery agent by using a virtual mount, etc) Just make sure you do the "diskpart" thing on your backup proxy. Things should be pretty safe after you've done that. (search the PDF for diskpart) Regards, Shawn ________________________________________________ Shawn Drew Internet zfor...@vcu.edu Sent by: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU 01/09/2012 12:18 PM Please respond to ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU To ADSM-L cc Subject Re: [ADSM-L] Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments Ken, My VMWare guy has the most questions. Can I forward your direct email address to him? I too will have questions from the TSM/server side since I have never setup anything like this. Seems like LAN-FREE is the way to configure but I have never done anything like that, either.

What I hear discussed the most is the architectural choices that you can make using TSM for VE, like whether to use client-side de-dupe, LAN-free, virtual or physical data movers, etc. Once you figure out what you want to make, the recipe is straight forward. Sort of like cooking eggs, lots of different methods but it's still the same egg and close to the same taste.
