1. User stops or suspends application. This can be automated using the TSM PRESNAPSHOT option.
2. User executes FlashCopy Manager command to perform a snapshot of volumes containing the application files.
3. User restarts or resumes application. This can be automated using the TSM POSTSNAPSHOT option.
4. Snapshot is optionally sent to TSM by FCM
Just-in-time import/export of VSS snapshots
VSS snapshots are mapped to production/offload host only when needed , they are no longer
mapped by default
New option in FCM 3.2, which works for clustered and non-clustered systems
Avoids consuming limited host system resources to maintain a large number of snapshots
In VMware/ESX environments SCSI device limits are not exhausted

Global/Metro/Remote Mirror snapshot integration
Similar capabilities at the DR site to what FCM has today at the primary site
Extends FCM to allow FlashCopy / Snapshot management in the DR site
Offload workload from production disk subsystem
Supports DB2 , Oracle, SAP (DB2 or Oracle), Custom Applications/File Systems
Supported Disk Subsystems: XIV, SVC and Storwize V7000
Supported Operating Systems: AIX, Linux, Solaris and HP-UX
Leveraging XIVs Remote Mirror in synchronous or asynchronous mode
Leveraging SVC/V7000 Metro (synchronous) or Global Mirror (asynchronous)
Backup Flow:

Global Mirror / Metro Mirror integration Use Cases
Use Cases for application consistent copies from target of the remote mirror
relationships on SVC, Storwize V7000 and XIV
Use snapshot at DR site as Backup for Data Protection
Consolidated Data Protection at the DR site

Snaps
VM1

Virtual disk
Many databases and applications use Raw Disks/

Partitions for performance reasons.
When using FCM for VMware, this new
enhancement avoids errors in VM restores that
have raw device mappings.

14
Add VMWare support for backup/restore of VMs with Raw Device Mappings
Types of RDMs:
- pRDMs (physical) and vRDMs (virtual)
FCMs Support:
- FCM supports both in toleration mode
FCMs Toleration Mode:

- Clear indication that the virtual disk was skipped inserted in the OVF
configuration file and in saved Object Info Disk structure
- Disks treated exactly as if the user had excluded these disks from the backup
How to protect them:
- FCM inside the VM can be used to protect RDMs
Examples of Applications and Databases that may use RDMs:
15
Oracle, Informix, SQL Server, MYSQL

DB2 on Linux
MS Exchange

Concurrent Attach of Multiple VMs from same Backup
FCM 3.1
Manages VMs one at a time, customers cannot attach/detach multiple VMs concurrently
FCM 3.2:
Allows concurrent attach of multiple VMs from the same backup
Supports granular detach operations which allow to detach VMs at the VM level so that
other attached VMs within the same backup are not affected
Allows concurrent operations while VMs of a backup are attached, e.g. restore and tape
backup
Maintains meta information of attached VMDKs in its internal repository, which will allow
additional attach operations for the same backup and concurrent operations
Provides a new view in the GUI that displays all attached VMs and gives the possibility to
detach virtual disks on VM level granularity
17
More Enhancements
Backup & Restore of VMware Templates

Backup & Restore of VMs within a vApp
Restore VMs to the original resource pool location assuming the
resource pool still exists
Plugin GUI enhancements
- More easily select VMs to be backed up
- Better reporting on backup tasks

Progressive Incremental Backup: How does it work ?
Transparent process, which works on block-level basis

Keeping track of changed blocks works on the fly (during backup)
No longer required blocks are marked as expired
During Backup, only meta data (pointers to blocks) are being processed
Regular TSM Expiration expires all blocks marked for deletion

Support of individual disk volume backup/restore for VMware virtual disks
Users can specify which virtual disks are backed up or restored

- Disks not needed to be protected can be skipped saving storage space and backup time
- Skipped disk configuration information saved to the backup ( also pRDM)
- Skipped disk configuration restored to the VM as an unformatted disk definition
Allows
to specify a division of labor between TSM for VE and TSMs for
- Backs up non TSM for disks while TSM for agents back up disks specific to them
Allows individual disks to be restored to an existing VM
- Existing VM must be powered off
- Disks not specified remain unchanged on existing VM
- Can specify that just the VM configuration information be restored

Direction: Unified application protection for VMware environments

36
Direction: Unified application protection for VMware environments
Protection of applications/databases introduces additional requirements as compared to file/

web servers traditionally hosted in VMware
Log management (truncation) for a sustainable backup methodology
Achievement of multiple recovery points through roll-forward/roll-backward
Individual email message recovery
To achieve protection of applications and databases (Microsoft SQL, Exchange, Active

Directory, Custom Applications) hosted in a VMware environment
TSM customers today use TSM for Mail/Databases etc. running inside VMs
Future goal is to provide application protection that is integrated/unified with TSM for VE
Looking at various options that could involve integration of product features from
TSM for VE for common disaster recovery across all VMs
TSM for Mail/Databases/Custom Applications for application awareness and operational recovery
37
First Step: In-guest TSM for VE 6.4 Application/Database support
Supported for Windows VM (VSS Writer is being called) for MS SQL Server and MS Exchange
TSM B/A Client (datamover) triggers log truncation at VMware snapshot time
Injection via Web Services API at runtime
Allows for consistent Application/Database support in Windows VMs
No TSM for . product required inside the VM
Limited functions for Point in Time restores, restores only possible to the time when the snapshot
occurred, no log roll forward
No log handling in this scenario
-> Running TSM for inside the VMs is still functionally superior, therefore still recommended
38
TSM for VE 6.4 : VMware Template Support
A virtual machine template (usually referred to as simplya template)

is a reusable image created from a virtual machine.
The template, as a derivative of the source virtual machine, typically
includes virtual hardware components, an installed guest operating
system (with any applicable patches) and software application(s).
Templates are VM blueprints from which VMs can be created
TSM for VE 6.3 didnt support backup/restore of VMware template
TSM for VE 6.4 adds this support
39
TSM for VE 6.4 : vAPP Support
Starting with VMware 4.0, VMware introduce the concept of a vApp container, which
is a group of virtual machines that are managed as a single object
vApp simplifies the management of complex multi-tiered application running on
multiple virtual machines
Another container in the vApp hierarchy is the Resource Pool which provides a
mechanism to partition available CPU and memory resource of ESXi host and
Clusters
TSM for VE 6.3 can backup virtual machines contained in vApps, Resource Pools,
Clusters and VM Folders but on restore we fail to return these virtual machine back to
their original locations, this is due to our failure to save the necessary data
