You’re referring to the licensing in
the library itself, right? You’re right that NBU doesn’t do
slot-based licensing. It’s all drive based.
It’s actually NetWorker that has
slot-based licenses.

limit?
Do you have the right
"license" on the SL500? By default, they appear to come with a
100-slot license - at least ours did. We had to purchase a license, and
it was *expensive* to make use of the full 144 slots.
If/when you do purchase this license, you'll be shocked at the installation
instructions compared to the price you paid...
I'm not aware of any slot-based licensing in NetBackup. I think it's TSM
that has it which is why the SL500 is cheaper when it's restricted to 100
slots.

Is there any sort of tape limit on a standard NBU license?
We have this strange issue where we've just had an
expansion unit added to our SL500s tape library giving us
>144 slots available. I'm still trouble-shooting this issue but I can make
the standard volume group to see more than 55 tapes; any tapes in the library
over the 55 mark are moved into the stand-alone volume group. It doesn't seem
to matter which slots I move the tapes to.
I'll run the robot inventory and it will give me 55 tapes in
the normal volume group, and the reset it will stick in the stand-alone group,
so I'll then put the stand-alone tapes into the CAP, re-run the inventory (this
time to empty CAP as well) and it will add the tapes from the CAP but then take
out other tapes and put them in the stand-alone group.
It never makes it above 55 tapes.
Cheers,
