<< Does the Enterprise Client License only give me SAN MEDIA SERVER capability>> - yes so far as server capabilities go.

 

I can’t find anything that spells it out exactly but it seems likely that you cannot run NDMP agent on the enterprise client.  If you are sending the data to drives connected directly to the filers you might as well put the NDMP licence on the Master Server, as it is mostly control traffic to and from the filer – though the catalog updates I’m told can be quite intensive.   If you are sending the data over the LAN to the NetBackup for NDMP server then that is not such a good idea.

 

 

 

Environment – NBU 6.5.5

Master Server – Windows 2003

Media Servers – Windows 2003

 

I have a question concerning the Enterprise CLIENT License. I have a server that has the Enterprise Client License installed on it. This server has control over the robotics in the 4 x LTO4 Tape Library. It can back itself up with no problems.

 

However I want to use this server as the robotic control from 2 x NetApp Filer backups using NDMP. Whenever I try and run an NDMP backup I get an Status Code 159.

 

I am able to run a 3^rd Party NDMP backup to the Master Server (which has control over another library).

 

My question is – Does the Enterprise Client License only give me SAN MEDIA SERVER capability? Will I need to upgrade this license to get NDMP backups through it?

 

Regards,
