Abstract

This document describes how to download installation images for IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager for Virtual Environments Version 7.1.1.

Download Description

Tip: Beginning with Version 7.1.3, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments is now IBM Spectrum Protect™ for Virtual Environments. Some applications such as the software fulfillment systems and IBM License Metric Tool use the new product name. However, the software and its product documentation continue to use the Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments product name. To learn more about the rebranding transition, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21963634.

Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments 7.1.1 includes the following components and levels:

  • Data Protection for VMware 7.1.1
  • Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V 7.1.1
Note: The Microsoft Hyper-V component is new with 7.1.1.

Note:
  • Because of issues documented in the flash "TSM for VE: DP for VMware may not incrementally back up all data due to VMware issue" http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21689947
    Data Protection for VMware incremental backups may be incomplete as a result of unreliable information returned from a call to one of VMware’s APIs. No indication or error messages are provided to TSM or to the user of this condition. Resolving this problem will require an ESXi fix from VMware. Once the VMware fix becomes available and is applied, use Data Protection for VMware to perform new full backups of all VMs backed up with affected ESXi hosts. Current Data Protection for VMware backup data for those VMs cannot be relied upon.

Maintenance Packages via the PTF Distribution Web Site
(Data Protection for VMware)


All Data Protection VMware maintenance packages can be accessed using the PTF distribution Web site.

However, these PTF packages require an existing V7.1.x installation on the machine before applying them because the PTF maintenance packages do not contain the license enablement files required for use of the component. If this is your initial installation of Data Protection for VMware on a machine or VM, you should obtain your packages, with the associated license enablement files, from the Passport Advantage Online Web site.

The PTF packages, without license enablement files, can be obtained from the following URL:
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/tivoli-data-protection/vmware/
