Some questions that we could not easily glean answer from the docs: 1. What are the specs/requirements for the vStorage/Backup Server that we will have to build? 2. What network requirements are there? Our TSM backup servers are on a completely different subnet then the VMWare servers.

Shawn, What about the licensing. Do we need one baclient + one TDP client for each PVU of our farm of ESX server? We test the TDP in our LAB and chose the physical proxi LAN-FREE on the VM side only. The proxi talk IP 10GB to the TSM backup server. That way we bypass the subnet problem and
