You can run the TSM client on ESX Server, it's just Red Hat 7.2. You can
use the add redo feature to back up

one that was listening on 1581. The dsmcad that you left running was
listening on an unknown (by the TSM server) port.

In TSM 5.2 and earlier, this wasn't a problem. In 5.3 (and presumably

So the data from the DIRMC pool ends up on a sequential primary pool?
Am I correct in concluding that such a configuration does not result
in problems, e.g. performance-issues when doing offsite reclamati
files in one large chunk).
Also, ADSM.QuickFacts says that sequential volumes have advantages
in a database restoral situation.
