Gentleman,
 
We are rolling out a large VMWARE project within out QA environment. Here is
a basic configuration of the new environment. There are going to be three
large "Wintel" servers running Windows 2000, on each of the three servers
will be running approximately 40 virtual VMWARE sessions. These three
"Wintel" servers will have multiple HBA attached to a SAN Storage
environment (Hitachi Series 9900) and will be engaged in LUN sharing.
 
I am not trying to validate the configuration of the environment, what I am
trying to do is understand how I will backup these three servers. I am
assuming I will have to have the base Netbackup 4.5FP5 clients software for
the Windows 2000 OS and a NetBackup 4.5FP5 Linux agent on the servers to
backup the VMWARE sessions? I am making the correct assumption? And if so,
will there be any special configuration setting I will need to make?
 
I appreciate any assistance I can get, I have little or no exposure to the
Linux (VMWARE) OS and the sad thing is neither do any of the SA's here. So
this should be fun. I would like to make sure I get good backups, since it
will be a little shaky in the beginning until the SA's catch up to speed.
 
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
 
Thanks in advance
