Abstract
This document describes how to download the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager for Virtual Environments: Data Protection for VMware Version 7.1.0.x Interim fixes
Download Description
Tip: The product now known as IBM Spectrum Protect™ was named IBM Tivoli® Storage Manager in releases earlier than Version 7.1.3. To learn more about the rebranding transition, see technote 1963634.
Download packages for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Data Protection for VMware versions 7.1.x have been removed from the web as they contain unremediated security vulnerabilities. The latest version of the 7.1 Data Protection for VMware contains fixes for the most recent known security and product issues and can be found using link: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24042520
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"

Interim fix packages contain no license enablement file. You must already have the 7.1.0.0 base package to obtain the license enablement file required to use the product. For information about how to download and install the Version 7.1.0 package using the Passport Advantage Online Web site, please refer to the download document:
