VCB Proxy Documentation (specifically for MultiPathing)

I do not believe that the hardware compatibility list is any different for VCB than it is for the general NBU product.  Below is the Hardware Compatibility List for 6.5.X

exftpp.symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/284599.pdf

... but if you are trying to use your IBM server as your proxy server please note the following from the documentation:

Supported operating systems for VMware backup proxy server:
The VMware backup proxy server must be installed on a Windows 2003 host.
The supported hardware types are the same as for any NetBackup Windows
client.


Supported disk arrays:
NetBackup for VMware can be used with any storage array that VMware
Consolidated Backup (VCB) supports. Make sure the datastore for the ESX server
is on storage that VCB supports.

hi,

that last part -- supported disk arrays:  where can i find a VCB hardware support matrix.?

i can't find any useful links in the NBU docs.. :/

I cannot find any useful docs from the Symantec side of the house.  So I tried to find some docs from VMware that will provide a list of supported hardware for VCB but I haven't been able to find one. 

yeah, that's my problem too.

it seems like vcb 1.5 is the only supported version that works with an IBM DS8000 array.

i'll see if i can post something to the vmware lists.

thanks!

Is this a Linux install or AIX? because only windows and LInux are supported platforms for VCB

Hi,

its a Windows 2003 VCB Proxy.
