The big one is that there is no dedup support - for either media server dedup or the PDDO plugin. Appliances that use NFS or FC VTL do work. OST plugin support from the manufacturers varies - for example, Data Domain does not have a Solaris x86 plugin but Quantum does.
Another big one is that there is no Granular Recovery Technology support for Active Directory, Exchange, and SharePoint. I've never seen one document that mentions all this, so if someone has it and can share, I think we'd all appreciate it. -daniel -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of przemol...@poczta.fm Sent: Friday, January 28, 2011 4:08 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Question about media server OS - Solaris on x86?
