Check abdul's response on similar query

You are ri8 documents are not updated for 5220 SAN based backup how to under 7.5 guides

maybe next version  might come up with it.

Actually you can use a regular Linux box as well according to the release notes of 7.5.0.3. However you need to be aware of this tech note.

Look on page 19 and 20 where it has a caveat about multi-path support to the VM data stores.
