Use "robtest" to log into the library and run a "mode" command.  It should tell you the total number of slots.    NBU will use whaterver the "mode" command reports.
 
Our Scaler 10k library reports 130 slots lower than physical slots.  The scalars can be bought "smaller than physical".
 
You have to pay ADIC/Quantum to turn on the additional slots.  I had a quote for $10,000 to turn on 100 lots.  Quite the rip-off in my opinion. (Though we were offered a $4000 discount on that list.  Only $6,000!  What a deal!)
 
Sorry  - don't have an answer for #2 other than to offer, "I don't think so."

1) We have a Scalar 50 library with 36 slots but NetBackup in only reporting 26 slots, is there a special license required to see a larger number of slots. I seem to recall there used to be back in the days of 3.4, that you needed a specific license the more slots you had.

2) My existing environment is all Windows, do I need a different license if I want to add Linux/ Unix clients?


Slainte,
