You need a client pak for Unix :
Case 1 your server is windows and if you want to backup any Unix (Sun, HPux, HP
Tru64, AIX) then
you need a client pak for unix because platform of backup server is not the
same than the one of the clients.
Linux clients need linux client pak.
Case 2 your server is a Unix (one of the above one) and as far as you backup
same OS than your backup server, no client pak for Unix is required. As soon as
you backup one of them that is different OS than backup server, Unix client pak
is required. Same for Linux and Windows clients.
On top of that, after granting OS technology licensing, you need to have enough
client connection or cluster client connection (if your client is a clustered
node and even you do not backup the clustered resources) and eventually
per module license (oracle, sap, .... what may be tiered on #CPU -windows-)

Hi Roberta,

>Unix" to back up my Solaris, SGIs, and Digital Unix clients?
If you have enough client connections, then you don't need any
clientpak for unix as your NW server is of unix platform.
The only situation where you would need one is that , your NW backup
server is Windows platform, then in that case you need a clientpak
for Unix.
The only exception is Linux clients, you need a linux clientpak if
your NW server is either Window or Unix. We treat linux more like a
module.
In summary , you don't need a separate clientpak for unix.

3151114 Licensing Issues
Hi Roberta,
My bad, you need a clientpak to backup other flavors.
I tested inhouse.
Solaris NW server backing AIX box without clientpak gives the error below:
daemon.log: eldo:/tmp save: RAP error: ClientPaks for UNIX/1
enabler does not exist in the system
You need 1 clientpak for Unix.
I will leave this case for 24 hrs then close it.
