Make TSM for VE a "HA" solution

During the backup the virtual machine is “freezed” (which seems the normal way the “quiescing” that VM initiates on behalf of the backup application is done). As the customer is running Linux in some VMs and is also running an “HA” solution in two VMs we find that when the first VM with the HA solution is freezed that the other HA node tries to do a takeover. Sometime later the first node comes back again and tries to get back the ressources which leads to an unstable cluster.

    At this point, we are not planning to add this functionality into TSM. However, FlashCopy Manager for VMWare does offer this functionality.
