1. Tivoli Storage Manager 7.1.1 Product Family
TSM for VE: Data Protection for VMware 7.1.1
FlashCopy Manager for VMware 4.1.1

2. FlashCopy Manager for VMware 4.1.1

3. FlashCopy Manager for VMware Configuration Wizard
The new FCM configuration wizard is integrated into the existing FCM VMware Web GUI / vCenter GUI plug-in (but not in the brand new IBM Data Protection Extension)
Similar to the VE config wizard introduced earlier
Allows initial configuration and later re-configuration at any time
Reduced complexity by focussing on essential parameters only to cover the majority of typical environments
Including multiple DEVICE_CLASSes
Including HOST_NAME_MAPPING configuration
Including remote mirroring support (new feature of 4.1.1)
Many parameters are not exposed with default values being applied

4. FlashCopy Manager for VMware – Configuration Wizard
In version 7.1.1, a configuration wizard:
Creates and modifies profile file
Creates and modifies password file
Configures necessary daemons to start on boot
Not all configuration aspects are covered by new GUI based wizard
Design goal: Keep it simple, focus on major scenarios and environments
For advanced configurations console based wizard is still needed:
Generic / 3rd party storage adapter configuration
Specify USE_FOR <device class names> clauses for HOST_NAME_MAPPING
Edit advanced mode parameters (-advanced option)

5. Remote Mirroring Support – FCM for VMware
Release introduces remote mirroring support for FlashCopy Manager for VMware
Mirroring Capabilities:
Schedule snapshot backups for mirrored VMFS datastores whereby those are created on secondary site but triggered from primary site
Restore (file-based and instant) those snapshot backups on secondary site (initiated on secondary site after fail over)
Attach the snapshot backup to an ESX host on secondary site (initiated on secondary site after fail over)
Schedule new (local) snapshot backups on secondary site after a fail over
Restore and attach locally created snapshot backups on secondary site after a fail over
All scenarios presume an existing remote mirroring relationship established on storage level for the volumes comprising the concerned datastores
NOTE: The remote mirroring relationship is neither created nor managed by FCM

6. Typical FCM Remote Mirroring Setup
Dedicated installation of FCM on each site
FCM repository and Derby DB are replicated between sites
Gives DR site similar capabilities to what already exists at the primary site
Backup can be used for restores on secondary site in DR scenarios
Supports SVC, Storwize V7000 and XIV remote mirroring capabilities
Support through Rocket Software for Symmetrix/VMAX adapter

7. VMware vSphere Site Recovery Manager Coexistence
VMWare Site Recovery Manager (SRM) provides remote data mirroring capabilities between primary (protected) and secondary (recovery) site
FlashCopy Manager for VMware can provide a secondary means of protection at the primary site
For data stores that are protected using array-based replication, FlashCopy Manager can also protect data stores at secondary site
To ensure immediate availability in the event of a failover operation, install Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware on a virtual machine that is protected by VMware SRM

8. Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments 7.1.1
Data Protection for VMware

9. VMware vSphere Web Client – IBM Data Protection Extension
At version 7.1.1, Data Protection for VMware adds support for GUI function delivered as an extension to the VMware vSphere Web Client
Existing Data Protection for VMware Installation process used to install all vSphere data protection GUIs:
vCenter Plug-in for vSphere client (unchanged at 7.1.1)
Existing Stand-Alone Web Interface (unchanged at 7.1.1)
IBM Data Protection Extension for vSphere Web Client (new to 7.1.1)
IBM Data Protection Extension requires VMware Web Client Version 5.5 update 1 or later
IBM Data Protection Extension functionality:
Click on a VM in the web client and directly launch a restore
Choose a Datacenter in the web client and restore a VM that had been deleted
Observe task progress in the web client for backup and restore
