Note:

• Because of issues documented in the flash "TSM for VE: DP for VMware may not incrementally back up all data due to VMware issue" http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21689947
  Data Protection for VMware incremental backups may be incomplete as a result of unreliable information returned from a call to one of VMware’s APIs. No indication or error messages are provided to TSM or to the user of this condition. Resolving this problem will require an ESXi fix from VMware. Once the VMware fix becomes available and is applied, use Data Protection for VMware to perform new full backups of all VMs backed up with affected ESXi hosts. Current Data Protection for VMware backup data for those VMs cannot be relied upon.
• 7.1.0.2 delivery includes the fix for following security vulnerability. Here the security bulletin:
  "Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in the Data Protection for VMware GUI"
