Direct SCSI access through VMware is difficult and I'm not even sure you'd want to try it through a virtual device.
I'd recommend a bare-metal build for a media server. -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of David McMullin Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 3:18 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media server choices We have Solaris 10 master at 6.5.3.1, 3 Solaris 10 media servers at 6.5.3.1, our windows group wants to set up some VMWare. We have a choice of combining the Windows media server with the VMWare or making it separate Unix or Windows - any thoughts? My thought was that the windows media server should "play nicely" with the existing unix servers, and it might be better to have windows connections to backup the VMWare - is this a false assumption?
