Please keep in mind that a lot of cool stuff in NetBackup is not supported when 
running Solaris on X66 ?
We considered this as well but luckily we turned to Solaris on SPARC (zones).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Question about media server OS - Solaris on x86?

We are considering a new OS platform for our Netbackup media servers at
$WORK.
 
The current platform is Solaris on SPARC, the consideration is going to
Solaris on x86.

Is this a good idea?  Is the conversion from Solaris SPARC to x86 more or
less effort than a completely separate platform, say Redhat Linux?

Thanks in advance,
 
James
