Assuming that SUN has priced their tiers the same way that EMC does, the answer is no, you only need purchase the one tier you want.

Hi,

We are use the Sun branded Networker and I have planned to start using
diskbackup.

Sun har four different tiers in their pricelist:

DiskBackup Option Tier 1: less than 1TB
DiskBackup Option Tier 2: 1TB to less than 6TB
DiskBackup Option Tier 3: 6TB to less than 10 TB
DiskBackup Option Tier 4: 10TB to less than 50TB

I have a Storagetek 6140 storage with ~10 TB raw storage and has planned
to buy a tier 3 license.

But Sun's descriptions as above made me wonder if I need to buy 3
enablers ie. Tier 1 + 2 + 3 to be able to use up to less that 10 TB ?

Buying all three is _much_ more expensive ( $15000 instead of 8000 ) so
I hope that it's not like that.
