Common Virtual Environment Terms
! Host
ESX Hypervisor environment which creates and supports production virtual
machines

! VMware Backup Client
Independent server which performs proxy backups for production machines

! Backup Server
Independent server which stores and manages production data backup copies

! Guest
Production virtual machine (VM)

Prognosen von Analytikern zeigen!
Mehr als 90% aller Anwender die virtuelle Maschinen nutzen,
tun dies um insbesondere x86-Speicherplatz zu reduzieren
und Energiekosten zu sparen.
Die Dichte von virtuellen Maschinen auf physikalischen
Servern nimmt weiter zu. Heute 1:15, vor einigen Jahren 1:4
2012 wird der meiste x86 Workload von virtuellen Maschinen
verursacht.
Annhernd 80% aller virtueller Maschinen werden derzeit noch
durch traditionelle in-guest oder host Backups gesichert.

Changing the game, for better and for worse !
Virtualized servers have been a boon to the
systems side of the house,
but a bane for storage managers.

Traditionelles Backup virtueller Maschinen (in-guest)
! Ein TSM B/A Client pro virtueller Gastmaschine installiert
! Nachteil: Viele B/A Client Installationen, Management & Wartung
! Nachteil: Verbrauch wertvoller Ressourcen (Memory, I/O Ressourcen) bei
parallelen Backups, Filesystem-Scan etc.

! Auf den VM Storage wird direkt zugegriffen (via VADP)
! VMware Snapshort wird ohne Umwege zum Backup Server geschickt
(Daten werden nicht am vStorage Server/Proxy Server gepuffert)
! Changed Block Tracking:
Erlaubt inkrementelle Backups ohne das Gastsystem vollstndig scannen zu mssen
! Der vStorage Server kann auch eine virtuelle Maschine sein - keine zustzliche Hardware!

TSM for Virtual Environments Doing a Backup
1. TSM Backup/Archive Client uses VMware vStorage API
" API contacts VMware (vCenter or ESX)
2. Invokes VMware-Tools on Guest (VSS consistent Snapshot)
3. ESX creates Snapshot

No staging disk on vStorage server

7. TSM Backup/Archive Client (on vStorage Server) reads VMDK directly through
SAN (if available)
8. TSM Backup/Archive Client sends backup data to TSM server
9. Snapshots will be removed automatically
10. Optional use of Storage Agent (TSM for SAN)

Auto Discovery of new VMware Guests
! Feature of TSM Backup/Archive Client V6.2.0
Ability to query vCenter for a list of Guests
ESX / ESXi 3.5 and 4.x
vCenter - vSphere 4 and VI 3.5
! ALL-VM: Selects all virtual machine guests found on vCenter or ESX
! ALL-WINDOWS: Selects all Windows guests
! VMHOST=esx1.ibm.com,esx2.ibm.com: Selects all guests on an ESX host
! VMFOLDER=foldername1,foldername2: Selects all guests within a folder

New Features included in TSM for VE
! Mount
Quickly mounts a snapshot, as a virtual disk, from the backup server to the
Guest
Mounts snapshots without actually restoring the files to Guest
Interfaced through GUI and CLI
! Instant Restore
Restores volume/data directly to Guest (non-OS disk only)
Enables access to snapshot data during the restore process,
as soon as the restore begins
Interfaced through GUI only

TSM
Server
1. User launches TSM for VE Agent
a. Enters TSM node name for authentication
with TSM server
b. Select VM, recovery point and disk
c. Select partition mount / partition
2. Volume is presented to local system (if off-host
mount, make volume available to VM guest)
3. User copies files (files restored from TSM
storage pool)
Agent Deployment
Linux and Windows install
packages
1. In-guest for VM user
initiated restore
2. Off-host centralized file
restore (windows
package typically on
same machine as B/A
client)

2. Volume restore background process initiated
3. Data restored on-demand based on access
(while background restore in process)
1. Agent deployed
in VM guest

1. Activate Instant Restore
2. Background Process
restores blocks gradually
3. Write IOs are performed as usual
4. Read IOs from un-recovered
areas create restore on demand
5. All other reads are performed as usual

Instant Restore
Instant Restore allows users to start
using applications on the same disk
to which the volume is being
restored, while the restore operation
is still in process.

(Note: The process cant be activated against
system volumes)
