Hello,
I recommend to doublecheck this with support. it sounds like obsolete information, because traditional RedHat (OS on which appliances are based) supports vSphere up to 6.7 as a backup host.
Attention - Virtual Appliance (VA) in master server role does not support remote Media Servers, so you cannot build up NetBackup domain in this way. You must have either traditional Master Server with VA's as Media Servers, or have one all-in-one VA serving as both Master and Media.

Hi, thanks for your reply! I was hoping it might be obsolete information. Checking with support would be reasonable indeed. As we currently don't have any contract with Veritas I am having some problems reaching out to the support team. :|
Regarding the Netbackup domain - are you sure abut this? I thought it should be possible to use one VA as a master server and another VA as a media sever for data centers - at least that's how I understood the VA documentation:
"The appliance software supports the following additional features depending on the virtual appliance type.
Master server
Adding media servers to the NetBackup domain.
You can add media servers to this master server. The master server manages backups, archives, and restores."
