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
