You should be able to easily confirm if it is in fact an issue regarding the performance of the ESX server by taking a close look at the performance tab of the VM and ESX host. VMware does a pretty good job of providing performance reporting. Personally, I have kept my TSM servers (and Admin Cente

One way to do this is to perform a restore and redirect the files and database into a separate name and location. For example: tdpsqlc restore db1 full /into=dmtemp /relocatedir=d:\dbtemp /recovery=no When this is done... you have the .MDF and .LDF files. Thanks, Del ---
