Adding a Data Mover to a Secondary vStorage Backup Server
Installation of the TSM for VE Software
If not already completed, install the software on the secondary server. Use the same TSM for VE installation package to install the required software on secondary vStorage Backup Servers. Installing the Datamover Only is the equivalent of installing the TSM BA Client software as well as the TSM for VE enablement file. This version of TSM for VE includes the TSM Client software within the install package.
