As I said earlier we currently have our master server virtualised under
ESX and it was setup by Symantec themselves. Therefore I was under the
impression that virtualizing a master server is supported, but media
server is not due to the I/O.

I  called support about this because it was something my company was
interested in doing (Virtualizing just the master) and was told that it
would be supported eventually and though they could not promise a date,
it could be as early as the first quarter of next year for ESX and
Hypervisor.

I was also told that if you work with your Symantec rep you might be
able to get a support exception for a virtual master server.

>>From the responses on the board I am guessing no one else has called
recently or I got a rouge tech to answer my question.

Because many people use their master server as a media server.
Symantec's not going to support it as a master server unless it can also
be a media server.

Hello everybody, 
ok it is not supported.

It' clear for me... problems are related to robotics/san etc...

But why do not support a Virtual Master Server if all robotics
stuff is duty of a physical media server?

regards,

Andrea
