The virtual servers on the Linux box are a ***.DSK file which is always =

Subject: [Veritas-bu] RE: VMWARE
=20
Gentleman,
=20
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.
=20
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?
=20
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.
=20
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
=20
Thanks in advance
