Hi Zoltan, I don't know if it's supported by IBM, but I think it's all related to load. A VM will not provide the same I/O performance as dedicated hardware does. So if you are planning to install a server with inbound deduplication with container pools, I would stay away from virtualization.

It is PCI network isolated and only backs up 6-PCI servers. We are thinking about recreating it as a VM since there aren't any hardware-based requirements (e.g. tape drives). Anyone running an ISP server as a VM? What are the gotcha's? Minimum VMware vCPU/vRAM requirements? Or should we look at throwing up a SPP instance? -- *Zoltan Forray* Spectrum Protect (p.k.a.
