According to the TSM 6.3 VE install guide, It supports Instant restores of volumes only. Not the Full VM's. Using the TSM recovery agent, you mount the desired disk snapshot and it's instantly available.
I just ran into this Field Guide, which shows how to perform an instant restore of a full VM. It creates a iSCSI target, which appears like a datastore to vCenter, and you just migrate the VM off of it. Has anyone heard of this or tried this before? It doesn't look like its a process described in any other documentation. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27024323&myns=swgtiv&mynp=OCSSGSG7&mync=R Regards, Shawn ________________________________________________ Shawn Drew This message and any attachments (the "message") is intended solely for the addressees and is confidential.
