Keith, I added a column to my vCenter for the TSM Node name, assigned a generic TSM Node name to each vm (I use 4 nodes), and then used PowerCli to write out four batch files to get my hosts backed up. In this way, it doesn't matter which host the vm lives on (or moves to), the TSM Node name will never change--and, I can know the TSM Node name for any vm from the vShere Client by adding my new column to the display. I also wrote a few reporting scripts to check what backed up etc.
Anyway, I guess I say all that to say I prefer the generic TSM Node name approach. Good luck!

This question is about the TSM for Virtual Environments architecture. Is a table and column available which contains the DOMAIN.VMFULL option for a backup instance? DOMAIN.VMFULL contains the name of the ESX host which is to be backed up by the backup instance. That would ease the management of backup instances.
