My understanding of SSO is that you buy a license per-drive, but that license 
does have to be installed on both the Master and every Media Server that shares 
the drives.  As the licence is not keyed to the drive, I assume that if it 
makes any check it is either that there is an SSO licence or possibly even that 
it has the right number of units.

The 'Shared Storage Guide' says:

No special installation is required for the Shared Storage Option. When
NetBackup software is installed, the Shared Storage Option software also is
installed. However, you must activate the feature by entering the Shared Storage
Option license key on the NetBackup master server. Also install the key on each
NetBackup media server that shares drives.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade to NBU 6.5.6 and SSO

Hi,

I just finished upgrading/rearchitecting our backup solution to the following:
1 Master\media server on Solaris 10
4 media servers on RHat 2.6
1 IBM 3584 with 25 drives.
The setup has the drives shared between all the servers and the master owning 
robot control.
we had 5 Netbackup enterprise server licenses prior to this upgrade and we 
purchased 25 SSO licenses as part of it.
I have all the servers up and the library configured and am able to see all the 
drives from all the servers.
I can run backups successfully from the master\media server, but when I try 
running a job against a specific media server I get either error 159 Licensed 
capacity exceeded or error 11 system call failed...

any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Do I need to have unique license keys on each media server?
Do I need to have all the license keys registered on all the servers or just 
the master??

Thanks
Paul
