NetBackup CDP for VMware

[alireza1023]

Hi

in documents has been said that CDP needs RHEL MSDP as media server

I have a question, can I use a MSDP server for CDP and regular VM backup?

Hello,

not Media Server, but CDP gateway must be RHEL-based. I agree that the doc can be confusing. CDP must be with  Media Server SW, but it wont be target MSDP Media Server configured in policies.

See the picture below, these 2 roles are separated.

Salam alireza , 

yes you can use your Media server which has MSDP storage as a CDP Gateway and OS should be RHEL.
