Direct SCSI access through VMware is difficult and I'm not even sure
you'd want to try it through a virtual device.

I'd recommend a bare-metal build for a media server.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media server choices

We have Solaris 10 master at 6.5.3.1, 3 Solaris 10 media servers at
6.5.3.1, our windows group wants to set up some VMWare.
We have a choice of combining the Windows media server with the VMWare
or making it separate Unix or Windows - any thoughts?

My thought was that the windows media server should "play nicely" with
the existing unix servers, and it might be better to have windows
connections to backup the VMWare - is this a false assumption?
