Not only yes, but often required. Try to mount a Windows-based BCV
snapshot to a Solaris media server for backup sometime :-)
Seriously, one of the main reasons for having different hardware/OS
media servers is for specialized OS/filesystem requirements, like
splitting a mirror on an HP system and mounting it to the media server
for performance. You will usually need to have the media server be the
same type of OS as the client in order for that to work.
