Hi Boris
For test, I sort of agree, as I have done a test upgrade for 5.1 to 6.5 but of course no fibre channel tape drives in place, just DSSU.
 
But for production, I am dead against this!

I run my test NetBackup environment using VM, no problems at all. For any testing for DR and so on, I would not mind to have on VM.

Regards,
Boris

That was the link I think I was after, which I could not find on google :-(
 
I know VM works on clients, as I have many of these. But some "high classed company" had the idea of setting up all our NetBackup environment as VM !!
 
I told them to get ******d !
 
I just wanted more ammo that showed it was not supported as a VM solution :-)

Simon

1) Does Symantec support NetBackup 5.1 or 6.5 in a virtualised environment?
(ie: Master or Media Server on a Vmware host)?

 No.  Only NetBackup clients are supported. 

http://ftp.support.veritas.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/278064.pdf
"VMware support is limited to supported NetBackup operating system clients-only; NetBackup servers are not supported."

2) Can anyone clarify if NT4.0 is supported with 6.5 ?

It is not supported with any 6.x release.  Refer to the the compatibility chart above.
