Is it possible to install NBU server on virtual machine? If yes, are there any limitations? Can we run on vmware virtual machine and RHEL's kvm ? Is it officially supported by veritas? can we connect tape autloaders to virtual machine?

Support for NetBackup in Virtual environment is covered in the attachment to this URL: http://www.veritas.com/docs/000006177
Firstly go through General guidelines for support.
Media Manager Storage units (Tape library and tape drives) are only supported on virtual technologies listed in table 3 of the doc - Virtualization technologies supported for Media Manager storage units
KVM is not listed in this section.
So, you will still need a physical media server for tape library.0
