I really do not know if there is limitation on flex, but I never install a master server with MSDP. BYO or appliance.
I had install 3 or 4 flex till now and I always separate master and media servers.
And I suggest you to do the same.

    HI sandreou 

    As indicated by StefanosM running a MSDP server on the master is not a good idea (there are occasions where it is necessary, but in general avoid doing it). On the Flex as you have correctly read, it is not possible to create any storage pools on a master server instance, so you would need to have both a master and media server to run NetBackup from the Flex. The master of course could be run elsewhere.

    Cheers
