Hi,
Currently we are running NB 5.0 and doing LAN-based backups. We have one
tape library (StorageTek L180) that is directly connected to the master
server. We'll be upgrading our backup infrastructure with the following
changes:
1) two master servers running NB 6.0 on Sun Solaris 10/SPARC that are
clustered using VCS 5.0
2) we'll be doing SAN-based backups using NB's SSO option.
Even though I did read through "Shared Storage Option (SSO) Topics" of
"Veritas NetBackup 6.0 Media Manager SA's Guide" page by page, I still
have a few questions:
1) How does Veritas license SSO? Is it based on tape drives?
2) Does each master/media server that will be sharing the tape drives
need an individual SSO license, or one single SSO license is needed and
can be installed on all the servers?
3) We'll be connecting the L180 to the SAN switch during the upgrade. Do
we just connect the robot to the FC switch, or we need to connect the
robot and all of the tape drives that are in it to the FC switch?
4) We'll be running EMM on the master servers which will act as the host
allocating and deallocating tap drives. Do the master servers need to be
connected to the SAN?
TIA, and have a nice weekend!
