Thanks to all who've responded. OK, so some folks are saying that with Network Edition it's 32 + 16 per storage node while others claim it's 32 + 32 per storage node. Hmm ... Well, we have one NetWorker Edition server and two storage nodes, so I plugged in 500 just for laughs, and NetWorker issues a Notice! with the following text:

parallelism out of range (1-96).

It would appear that it's 32 + 32*n where n=number of snodes? Regardless, your question about whether it's 32 for each storage node, or whether a given storage node can actually increase above that amount to the sum aggregate of the total, e.g. 64, 96, whatever, is an excellent question. Ditto for the cloning. It's not clear how to infer it. This may have been the question I would have asked next. ;-)

I'm hoping someone will chime in on this.

We have 1 backup server and 1 storage node: Network Edition and the max parallelism is 64.

But is it 32 for every storage node/server? Our storage node does all the work, backups, and clones, can the storage node use 64 sessions, or is it restricted to 32 even when the server isn't using its 32 sessions?

Does Clone sessions also count as sessions?

Not quite correct

Network Edition is a max paralleism of 32, and each Storage Node is 16 .
Therefore 32+16+16=64

Just for information, Power Edition is 64+32+32=128

George,

A Network edition server license allows a maximum of 32 for server
parallelism.  For each storage node, max parallelism is increased by
32.  Thus, with two storage nodes, the maximum server parallelism will
be 96.

Does anyone know what the max server parallelism can be? We have
NetWorker Network edition 7.2.2 on Solaris, and we're using two RH
Linux storage nodes. I'm trying to figure out the max number of save
sessions that NW will allow me to run.

Does the number of storage nodes increase this? I thought I'd read
once that it did.

Thanks.

George
