Hi there
I've been searching the internet without much luck. I've been wondering if anyone has ever installed NetBackup Media Server software on an ESXi host and whether it is supported.
I want to play around with some things. Nothing serious.
Regards

You are correct.
There is no backup software for the ESXi server.
This is a VMware limitation as far as I know.

We use a VM windows media server in our test environment, and it works great !
Except we upgraded it to 8.1.2 to test the upgrade process and now it cannot connect to the master...

Hi Marianne
Thanks for the reply. I was asking more specifically about installing NBU on the ESXi OS (physical host), not on a virtual machine. I doubt it's possible since ESXi is a rather reduced functionality Linux flavour.
