What you need to watch out for is what Symantec supports on the x86 Solaris. 
For instance no dedup support yet for 7.0. Data domain doesn't support OST on 
x86 for Solaris. They didn't support for a BMR master until 6.5.3 I believe. So 
just figure out what you need to run on the media server and double check the 
compatibility matrixes

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Experience with Sun Fire x4540 as Media Server

Does anyone of you have any experience with a Sun Fire x4540 as a NetBackup 
Media Server ?

As we recently discovered that destaging on Windows Media Servers is somehow 
limited (speed) we tested this on a Solaris box and saw a huge difference.  
Therefore we want to try out this SUN Fire server as a Media Server.
