The ideal method is to run TSM on another Linux guest in the same VM instance, but then you get to buy FCP-attach tape drives, which is pretty idiotic, IMHO. If you have to go out onto the real network, be prepared for a LOT of network traffic; TSM is not particularly network bandwidth-savvy. Bacula would be another good alternative, since it doesn't require FCP tape drives.
