Hi, we purchased 16 of these virtual cals, on the presumption that yes,
one would be needed per ESX host. (This is what our EMC rep told us as
well!?)
However, I've also noticed via nsrlic that only 1 virtual cal ever seems
to be in use - could it be that the lics' are only used temporarily when
doing the actual VCB itself, and then released afterwards?
We are on 7.5.1 on windows 32-bit, and am quite sure we have setup the
virtualization piece in NW properly, since all our vcb's work. I'm
thinking of removing 15 of the 16 cals and see what happens ... :\
(If only 1 virtual cal *is* required "in the grand scheme", I guess we
certainly got ripped off! ... :(
Thanks,
Jamie

Subject: [Networker] NetWorker Virtual Edition Client
details:
Networker server is Windows server 2003 64 bit running version 7.4.4.
We have a 6 server VMware cluster and are interested in using the
virtual edition client to free up some client licenses. We use VMWare
Consolidated backup to backup our virtual servers from a storage node.
I have installed one temporary license of the Virtual Edition Client on
our Networker server. When I do a nsrlic from the command line, I see
that the virtual server clients no longer show up as "clients" and
therefore, the licenses they were using are now "free".
My question is to anyone who is using this client...we were told that we
needed one Virtual Client License PER ESX SERVER. From what I am
seeing, this one Virtual Edition license is allowing all of our clients
with properties defined to use VCB on the proxy backup.
Is there anyone using this Virtual Edition Client with 7.4.4 using VCB
with a VMware cluster that explain why I you need one Virtual Client
License PER ESX SERVER? I guess I am missing something.
