There is no such thing as a Master Server License, never has been to my knowledge(after 3.11).
There are only Mediaservers. Any Enterprise
Media server can be a master. Mediaservers are tiered by OS (windows,
linux, Unix) and Manufacture Model #. Symantec determines which tier a Model is
in. San Mediaservers cannot be Masters. I don't
think the San Media server license exists in 6.5. A San Master Server
licensed existed at one time(which was the same price as a Enterprise
Mediaserver.)

When I purchased 6.0 licenses about a year ago Master and
Media server licenses were the same cost. I don't see how a Master /
Media is any cheaper than a Master / Master unless you've got a software
add-on that licenses per Master. I agree with Justin on this one.
Unless your WAN is 100% stable (like fiber to a DR site down the road) I
suggest Master / Master so jobs run instead of fail when one server or the
other or the WAN goes down. Even with separate masters you can still do
restores from one to the other by copying catalog entries. Of course a
fancy schmancy geocluster would work as well (and get you some uber kudos on
this forum. =)

Based on what you describe, it
seems you only want to backup servers in a remote site but are not looking for
a "DR" solution. It would be far cheaper to have a single master server and a
media server in the remote site. This obviously keeps the license costs down
and centralizes the management.

| [Veritas-bu] Best setup for
NetBackup in 2 sites across the WAN

Dear Gurus, What is the best setup for NetBackup in 2 sites across
the WAN link?
I will have a tape library on each site.
-
Should I purchase 2 NetBackup servers and manage them separately? - Is it
better (or cheaper) to purchase NetBackup server for a primary site and
media manager for the remote site?
Thank
you, Aleksandr _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu
