Re: [Veritas-bu] VM Master / Media Servers

VCB is fine :-) There are tons of papers on this. I believe
the problem is adding a Media / Master server as a VMware client and allowing it
to access physical tape library / drives.
If you want to add a Media Server with a DSU, then that
would be ok - but my understanding is no "physical" communication with the
library is supported with VMWare.
I am being advised differently, so I will be correcting
this.
Thanks
Simon
We are also planning a
Windows 6.5.1 Master to backup VMware using the VCB function.. Am I hearing
correctly that this is Not supported by Symantec ??

Hi
Ed
Yes, thats the feeling
I got, but I am being strongly advised by a 3rd party that symantec does support
it. However, I am starting to have doubts about
this.
And I have tested a DSU
media server, and that is fine, but certainly cannot see it working in my VM
environment here.

This is not supported.
The issue is
not Symantec - it's VMware. A VMware guest can not have access to tape
drives, so you're sunk right off the bat.
It you want to test a
Master/media server in a VMware guest, and use *ONLY* disk-based storage units,
I suspect that it will work. No tape drive access
though.
