This enhancement request is to change the TSM for VE code and set it up as StorageAgent for Virtual Environment. This STA4VE will sit on the vCenter Server with configurations for the TSM server and Tape Library/ Storage Pools. While the TSM4VE GUI to be incorporated within the TSM Operations Center.

Refer the attached PDF for the logical high-level diagram of the solution suggestion.
