Download and use NetBackup Virtual Appliance combined master and media server for remote offices and branch offices (ROBO) template, which is the (NetBackup_VA_ROBO_VMware_3.2_EN.ova) file.

System requirements

The system requirements for AMS on NetBackup Virtual Appliance are as follows:

  • A minimum of 16 GB RAM

  • At least 500 GB of storage

  • A physical network connection is required for the transfer of large files (in GBs or larger).

Note:

For details about system requirements and the procedure for deployment, refer to the Veritas NetBackup Virtual Appliance documentation.

Known issue

Sometimes, an appliance that is configured as AMS entry may appear twice on the Home page of the Appliance Management Console. You can safely ignore this issue because it does not interfere with the working of AMS. You can click any of the repeated entries to view its details or select any one of them to perform further actions.
