TSM4VE Cloud Service Provider Mode

Because of all ransomware attacks we see more transformations from other backup vendors back to IBM Storage Protect for VE, but the issue with TSM4VE is that it demanding a System Account in the Storage Protect Server to be able to work, we have done a workaround and create a Admin Account but never give out the password to our customers, but this is a security issue for us and if one of our clients get hacked it is possible for the external person to get access to the Server side and delete all data. 

We want a function to be able to script the entire installation and only give them the node names with password so all our end-users can install and use pre-defined Schedules from the server using Polling Mode and not have any Admin Account access to the server side.

    IBM has evaluated the request, and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time. This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the date of submission. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and re-submission.
