Re: [Networker] [NetWorker] NT Cluster License issue

Chris,

The problem is not the server, but that the shiny new 6.1.2 clients are
TELLING the server they are clusters. The older versions of NetWorker (pre-6
usually) do not identify that they are a cluster node, and so the server
does not ask you for licenses. A short term solution is to downgrade your
clients. The long term answer is that you will need to properly license your
environment. If you have not added your cluster to the Legato environment of
your own accord, and they were present when your system was spec'd you could
always have a pop at the reseller (or Legato!) that spec'd it out, as they
have not really licensed your environment properly (might be worth a
discount on the licenses).

Under 6 you need 1 license per physical node, under 5.x you needed 1 per
node AND 1 per virtual resource (server, disk e.t.c.), the Legato release
notes and install guides have good description of these schemes if you want
to know more.

Regards

Paul.
