Hi all
I have been asked to look into the backing up of virtual machines with a view
to lowering the number of TSM client licenses we require.
Can someone point me in the right direction of documentation regarding working
with TSM and virtual machines as I'm not even sure what's possible.
Download the 5.4-5.5 Technical Guide redbook SG24-7447 from
www.redbooks.ibm.com.
Read Chap. 24, which covers the features up through the 5.5 client.
The 6.1 client adds direct support for fullvm backups.

It appears that you license based on the lower of the number of virtual
CPUs provided to your VMs, or the number of physical CPUs in the server.
Depending on how you have
If you backup a V.M., you still need to install the windows client on each
VM in order to get the file updates so there are no savings on licenses.
We have about 20 VMs now which are backed up using VCB (Virtual

Whether you use VCB or not, does not affect your licensing.
You pay licenses based on the physical processors on the machine, no matter
how many guests you run. So if you have many guests, you may get a
significant reduction in license costs.
You can do file-level backups by installing the b/a

We looked at this from both angles. First from the point of creating a

only backing up vm guests that require backups. Turned out we didn't have
enough guests in any one site to justify licensing a 6 node - 8 core

Thanks for the information. Gives me plenty to think about.

And with the Storserver Agent you can restore file-level back to the guest
machine without needing the TSM client installed on the guest, only on the

I think TSM Client you can restore file-level or full level. Also you can save
incremental backup during the week days and full backup each 7 or 15 or ..

Within the last few months there was a series of messages on counting
processor cores. A couple of the messages stated that TSM is moving to
licensing based on terabytes of stored data rather than processor
cores. Where can I find more information on this?
Haven't heard that.
My first thought is that it would make licensing
a LOT easier to figure out!
