Virtualizing DPM 2016

[Vicky]

Hi guys,

 

im looking into possibly virtualizing our DPM server. We currently have a physical 2016 server hosting DPM 2016 with SQL 2012r2. (we upgraded from DPM 2012r2 to 2016)

 

We have 2 Powervault MD1200s attached for the storage and a Powervault 124T for the tapes.

 

Has anyone got their DPM setup virtualized and if so, could let me know how they did it or point me in the direction of any guides.

 

What are the advantages/disadvantages of having DPM as a virtual machine

 

Thank you!
