Yep, that's fine. If you want to use SAN Transport Mode, then read the TN below, and if you have any further queries around this, close off this forum topic and open up a new one in the BE forum around SAN Transport Mode.

NBU is an enterprise-class backup application, while BE spans from small business to large.

...you need to quote the Symantec TNs you have taken these from...
Thanks!

thankx for the request but what y mean with " Backup exec can also support other platforms but as a client server only. "
03-29-2013 02:31 AM
BE is Windows-based as a media server ONLY. Linux and Unix etc are only supported with remote agents!
03-29-2013 02:35 AM
ah all right , so on my case the customer has 10 VMs ( vmware vsphere ) running windows Server and 4 VMs runing linux ( debian , suse ) so on this case when i will backed them with Backup exec vray edition that's a coorect solution
03-29-2013 03:06 AM
Backup Exec V-Ray will work just fine in this case! Just make sure the media server is a physical server which is supported by Symantec...a VM running BE isn't!
Thanks!

so , you mean hat the mdia server must be a physical server not a VM ?
03-29-2013 03:18 AM
...running BE on a VM is an unsupported configuration. There are numerous topics on this on the BE forums. I've been in a situation where I have had to do this (not my choice) and it does give you hassles.
The other thing being that Symantec till not support you unless you can reproduce your issue on the media server VM on a physical machine...
Thanks!

so you recommend that the media server must be physical server for best performance that's it ?
03-29-2013 03:23 AM
Yes...connections to tape drives and libraries are easier; support is easier; no need to worry about your server possibly VMotion'ing to another server and not being able to because it has a drive attached via SCSI pass-through etc.
A physical server is recommended at all times!
Thanks!

all right craig , really i appreciate your help and thank you so much , just a question on my case the tape libraries is connected to SAN switch (FC) further the disk array , so it's fine ?
