Hello,

 

on a new site, I have deployed a commserve and 2 linux  physical media agents. Media agents do not have FC or ISCSI cards. I need to use 2 VM for hot add. Can I use linux VMs are Windows ?

 

Thank you

Hey Bloopa,

You can use linux VMs for hotadd proxies no problem. The caveat is that to do file recovery of windows VMs with live browse, you traditionally needed a windows proxy to read the NTFS volume - HOWEVER, that recently changed with feature release 24 released last month, and now Linux proxies can also browse and restore files from windows VMs.
