eliminates the impact of running backups on a VM by offloading backup workloads from a VMware ESX or
ESXi-based host to a vStorage Backup server.
Data Protection for VMware works with the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client which is installed on the

vStorage Backup server to complete full and incremental backups of VMs. The client node installed on the vStorage
Backup server is called the Tivoli Storage Manager data mover node. This node "moves" the data to the Tivoli
Storage Manager server for storage, and for VM image-level restore at a later time. Instant restore is also available at
the disk volume level and full VM level. In addition, protection of vApps and organization vDCs in a vCloud Director
environment is also available.

Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI


This component is a graphical user interface (GUI) that accesses VM data on the VMware vCenter Server. This GUI
can be accessed in two ways. This GUI can be accessed as a vCenter Server extension in the Solutions and
Applications panel of your vCenter Server System or in a stand-alone web browser GUI.

Data Protection for VMware Recovery Agent


With this Data Protection for VMware Recovery Agent component, you can mount any snap
Tivoli Storage Manager server storage. You can view the snapshot locally, with read-only
system, or use an iSCSI protocol to access the snapshot from a remote computer. In addition,
VMware Recovery Agent provides the instant restore function. A volume used in insta

The Data Protection for VMware CLI is a full-function command-line interface that is installed with the Data Protection
for VMware vSphere GUI. Although the Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI is the primary task interface, the
Data Protection for VMware CLI provides a useful secondary interface. We can do all backup, restore and schedule
activities through Data Protection for VMware CLI.

The virtual node that represents a vCenter.
Data Mover Node
In a Data Protection for VMware vSphere production environment, the most basic node is the
node represents a specific Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client (data mover) that "m
system to another. In a basic vSphere environment, where VMs are backed up by a single
stored directly under the data mover node. Each data mover node requires its own Tivoli Storage
Manager client acceptor and scheduler service.
Data Center Node

work is distributed among multiple data movers, the VM data is stored in a shared node instead of a specific data
mover node. This shared node is called the datacenter node. Thus, in this large system vSphere environment, the
data mover nodes store VM data into the datacenter node.

VMCLI Node
Finally, in a large vSphere virtual environment, where multiple data movers and datacenters are operative, a third
node is used to communicate among the nodes and Tivoli Storage Manager server. This node connects the Data
Protection for VMware command-line interface to the Tivoli Storage Manager server and the T
data mover node. Unlike the Tivoli Storage Manager data mover node, the VMCLI node do
Tivoli Storage Manager client acceptor or scheduler service.
Similarly, for VMware vCloud Director production environment, we have
vCloud Director Node which represents the vCloud Director and is the top-level node.
Provider VDC Node which represents a provider vDC for vCloud environment.
Organization VDC Node which represents an organization vDC for vCloud environment.
Data Mover Node which represents a backup-archive client and is associated with a sing
all of its organization vDCs. It is authorized to do operations for all organization vDCs tha
provider vDC.
VMCLI Node which connects the Data Protection for VMware vCloud GUI to the Tivoli Sto
and the other nodes.

Protecting VM templates and vApps


Data Protection for VMware supports backing up and restoring of both VM templates and
vApps.
A VM template is a master image of a VM. This template can include an installed
set of applications. By using TDP VM software you can also backup these VM temp
recovery. VM templates can be restored to the original VM template, or to an alternative
store location.
A vApp is a logical entity that consists of one or more VMs. By using a vApp, you can specify and include all
components of a multitier application. VMs that are contained in a vApp can be backed up and restored. By
using TDP VM software you can also backup these vApps for the disaster recovery.

Starting from version TSM VE v7.1, Data Protection for VMware can automatically fail over to the secondary TSM
server for data recovery when there is an outage on the primary Tivoli Storage Manager server. The Tivoli Storage
Manager server that the Tivoli Storage Manager data mover node connects to during normal production processes is
called the primary server. When the primary server and data mover node are set up for node replication, the client

data on the primary server can be replicated to another Tivoli Storage Manager server, which is the secondary server.
During normal operations, connection information for the secondary server is automatically sent to the data mover
node from the primary server during the logon process. The secondary server information is automatically saved to
the client options file on the data mover node. No manual intervention is required by
secondary server.
Each time the data mover node logs on to the server, it attempts to contact the
unavailable, the data mover node automatically fails over to the secondary server, accord
server information in the client options file. In failover mode, you can restore any
primary server is online again, the data mover node automatically fails back to the primary se
data mover node connects to the server.

Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware


Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware is a data management solution that you can use
management in a VMware vSphere environment. It simplifies the backup, restore, and disaster
virtual machines in a VMware environment. When you use Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager
Storage Manager for Virtual Environments, you can store VMware image backups on Tivoli St
storage. You can back up, restore, and implement disaster recovery solutions for virtual m
environment.

With Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware, you can create non-disruptive off-host backups for VMware

virtual machines in a vSphere environment. This off-host approach facilitates faster backup operations. This method
enables block level incremental backups when VMware change block tracking feature is enabled. You can protect
and back up virtual machines at the datastore level. With this feature, you can also restore a single virtual machine
and virtual disk to its original location or to an alternative location. In addition, you can restore an entire datastore or
datastores.
