[Networker] AW: [Networker] unix cluster client license

Hi chuck,

this is part of the Legato license policy. If there is a client running in a
cluster, such as rms or mc/service guard on hp you have to use a
cluster-client-license for each node in the cluster. They have implemented
the hvdisp resp. cmviewcl command and the server will recognize the cluster
and it doesn't matter wether there are shares or not.

regards

klaus

Betreff: [Networker] unix cluster client license - why do I need one?

Networkers,

Question: *Must* I have a client cluster license to backup an unshared file
system on hpux mc/sg cluster node?  If so why? - what additional
functionality does it provide?

networker network edition, 6.1.2.
hp-ux 11.0 server/storage node, non-clustered.
hp-ux 11i cluster clients (2).

I have a new 2 node hp-ux cluster.  I have an existing Legato Networker
environment consisting of 1 server and 3 clients - non-clustered.  I have
available client licenses.  I just want to backup filesystems on my cluster
nodes, nothing fancy, no failover packages, etc.  The cluster nodes do not
share any file systems.  I have installed the client s/w on the 2 cluster
nodes.  When I attempt to backup the nodes, on the server I get messages
like the following for each filesystem on the clients:

Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/
Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/ save: Cannot open save session
with prd
Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/stand 1 retry attempted
Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/stand save: RAP error: Unable to
grant UNIX CLUSTER CLIENT license: Too many clients.  Maximum is 0
Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/stand
Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/stand save: Cannot open save session

It is true that I don't have any cluster license.  However I don't
understand why I need one.  I just want to backup filesystems like I've
always done on the non-clustered clients.

Please advise.

Thanks,
