When you enable a NetWorker server, the enabler also allows you to use a
specific number of clients of the same platform type. For example, a
NetWorker server on Solaris is licensed for a specific number of Solaris or
SunOS clients. If you want to connect clients of other platforms to that
NetWorker server, you must purchase a NetWorker ClientPak® enabler for
each of those platforms.

Hi,

I'm sure this question has been dealt with before, but I'm in a rush to
get an answer and have not been able to get any clear answers or return
calls from Legato, and we have support; otherwise, I'd talk to them
about this and not waste anyone's time.

We have a Solaris server running NetWork Edition. We have *always* had
the "ClientPak for UNIX" as one of our products as shown in the server
registration window. My understanding is that in order to support
different flavors of Unix, other than the server's (in this case
Solaris), this is a necessary product, or at least it was at one time.
We do back up other flavors of Unix, including Linux; however, in the
case of Linux, we also have the required "ClientPak for Linux", and
because we also back up Windows machines, we also have the "Clientpak
for Windows".

Questions:

1. Does the built-in support for 10 clients (server and 9 other clients)
that you always get with NetWorker extend to all non-Linux flavors of
Unix as long as you have the "ClientPak for Unix"? In other words, in
our case, if we had no other "NetWorker client connections", would we
still be able to back up 9 AIX boxes, or 9 SGI boxes, or any
combination, etc. assuming the server was Solaris, or does the built-in
support only allow for 9 Solaris clients (server makes 10)?

2. If we we're only backing up Solaris clients, would the "ClientPak for
Unix" be necessary?

2. What would happen if we removed the "ClientPak for Unix"? We're still
running 6.1.1, but not sure if later updates obviated the need for this
product? We're getting ready to renew our maintenance and needed to know
if this should definitely be included.

Thanks

George
