This piece of software helps VMware environments a lot. Maybe block-level
incremental backup of VMs eliminates most of the need for traditional
backups in virtual machines:

@ Stefan:
If SANergy or GPFS work in VMware guests, TDP for SQL can do a lan-free
backup to disk.
You are right, this seems to have changed in the last 6 months or so! :-)
Very nice for a disk only TSM Server solutions, but I see the storage agents
are still not supported on VMware.

Are you sure about that? The link from Del earlier asserts that TSM Server *is*
supported on VMWare.

Oops on the data, SQL was stated, missed that one! :-)
Sure, you can install it and get it running, don't expect any support from
IBM on it on the other hand, that's why you can't use it for any serieus
production use.
IBM doesn't support the TSM server or a storage agent on the VMware
platform.

Lan-free requires the installation of a storage agent, this software is not
supported on the VMware platform so it's not possible to make lan-free
backups from a client on the VMware platform.
What kind of data is it and where is it coming from?
Maybe we can figure out some other solution..

1 Gbit/s ethernet can handle 360 GByte/hr, 10 Gb -> 3.6 TB/hr.

Hi
The question is how to use TDP for SQL in a VMware environment. As the data
is multi-terabyte, LAN-free is necessary.
Is NPIV a supported method to present SAN resources to VMware clients? A
friend says that tape access is not possible and I wonder if SANergy is
supported or not.
Thank you,
Meh
