3-way NDMP means that you have more than one NAS appliance - one with tape drives attached and another with no tape drives. Explanation from HCL:
Data travels from disk on an NDMP host to a tape device on another NDMP host. Backup data is sent over the local network. NOTE: The tape drives must be in NDMP-type storage units.

Looking at the Virtual Appliance Documentation, it might not be supported for combined master/media virtual appliance: 

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

If you deploy a virtual master only, this might be possible:

Additional features

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.
