Change of communication for instant mount/instant full restore for TSM4VE

When using Instant Mount or Instant Full Restore in TSM4VE, all communication should be initiated from the client towards the server.
Currently, traffic will be initiated from the TSM server towards the vStorage backup server on TCP ports 1501 and/or 1581
If both the vStorage backup server and TSM server are located behind firewalls/NAT, it becomes a problem to use the Instant Mount/Full Restore functionality.
See http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21625297&aid=1 for a map of required ports.
