I cannot locate the docs or passage that says it, but there was a Symantec document that stated the VBR server could not be installed on the NBU master or media servers. This was not easily found, as it is not staed in the install documentation nor in any of the places you would expect it.
Pages 45 & 46 of the
Veritas Backup Reporter 6.6 Guide provide examples of where to install the VBR Management Server; none of them mention installing it on the NBU master. Granted, it mey be possible, but I don't believe you'd want to run data collection on the same server.
Page 38 states that you can't install VBR management server & NOM together on the same server.
We installed it on a Windows VM and it runs just fine.
