I find this documented limitation very worrying and confusing, since Virtual an Physical appliances on 3.1.2 equates to NBU 8.1.2 that supports up to vSphere 6.7 U1.
I see that NBU Appliances are ONLY mentionted in the 8.x SCL as being supported with NBU 8.0 / 3.0.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the security enhancements from 8.1/3.1 onwards....
Since you are at a stage where you are looking for solutions, it is extremely important that you work with a knowledgeable reseller who in turn has a close relationship with the local Veritas SE.
I feel that these limitations and omissions from the SCL must be brought to the attention of Product Management.
I honestly doubt that Support will have answers....
Hello,
information about remote Media's is from here:

You cannot add additional media servers to the NetBackup Virtual Appliance combined master and media server for remote offices and branch offices (ROBO).

Veritas added some new Virtual Appliance offerings:
There is a new Virtual Master that is a 'master only'. No Advanced disk or MSDP.
There is a different OVA download file for this.
There is also a Cloud Catalyst VA.The link posted above (3.1.2 documentation) says:
Additional featuresThe appliance software supports the following additional features depending on the virtual appliance type.
Master server ### Master only
-
Adding media servers to the NetBackup domain.
You can add media servers to this master server. The master server manages backups, archives, and restores.
Combined master and media server ### ROBO
- Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) storage.
........
- AdvancedDisk storage.
.......Media server
....CloudCatalyst
Unfortunately this was not published very well and there is nothing about this in the 8.1.2 Licensing Guide.
I only got to know about this a couple of weeks ago.- Michal_Mikulik16 years agoModerator
