Hi,
We are planning to do a POC with one of our customers. Is it possible to conduct a POC with an 8-core (single proc) CPU master server?
We can provide at least 32GB RAM
Thanks!!
There is sizing advice in the "Symantec NetBackup Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide Release 7.5 and Release 7.6"

Yes, you can use the said processor.

Form my point of view:
It depends on what exactly you want to POC: performance or functionality?
If functionality - yes, go ahead.
If performance - go through the Planning and Performance guide to ensure best possible environment.
Its fine, however, NetBackup prefers socket over cores. So if you have 8 cores, NetBackup would have the following preference from best to acceptable
4 x Dual Core
2 x Quad Core
1 x Octa Core
