Different OS for media servers is not a problem in Netbackup, you can mix and match Windows & Linux/UNIX. The only requirement is that the operating systems  are listed in the Software Compatibility List.

Pls see for 8.X : https://download.veritas.com/resources/content/live/OSVC/100040000/100040093/en_US/nbu_80_scl.html?_...

Hello,

As mentioned by @Nicolai , there is no problem to mix different OS types in a netbackup architecture all what you have to do is to make sure of NBU version compatibility and your OS.

and one more thing, for RH 8.X you will need to check this prerequisites first : https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100045645
