Thank You Christian. :) Apparently, in talking with my VMware guy yesterday evening, VMware will also import a "Drive Snapshot" image directly. (the Tom Ehlert Software plug-in for BartPE that we make DR drive images with)
If that works, we'll put in some über-blades in the DR Datacenter chassis and in an emergency, throw images onto VM instances and Tivoli restore the previous night's backup. He's telling me he's already done this with both Ghost and Drive Snapshot but never thought I would have need of it. (!!!) I'm crossing my fingers on this working...we're very excited about it! -Jim -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christian Svensson Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 4:33 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] SV: Tivoli Restore into VMware Instance Hi Jim, With the BMR tool from IBM/TSM you can do a migration from Physical to Virtual (P2V), Virtual to Physical (V2P) or Physical to Physical (P2P). And you can pay for one time use if you don't want to keep the product. There are some VMware documents I wrote together with VMware/IBM and Cristie about this how to Backup a Physical box and move it to VMware. Also how you BMR protection your VMware ESX box with TSM and there BMR tool. Talk to your IBM rep and he will help you out on this. Thanks Christian -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Jim Hatfield Skickat: den 15 januari 2007 19:59 Till: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Ämne: Tivoli Restore into VMware Instance Hi All, Has anyone tried restoring a "regular" Windows 2003 server into a VMware virtual instance with Tivoil? We are kicking around some new DR procedures and this maybe sounded doable?
