I would like to add to this a small problem I have seen in implementing this
and see if the same person has any ideal how to work around it.  We are
currently undergoing a migration from another backup platform to using
Netbackup with and without the SSO option, i.e. IP based backups and SAN
based backups.  

With the SSO option, this turns every client on the SAN/(w/ a fiber card)
into a media server.  What this means is having a separate class with only
one client defined per client.  In a large environment (500 - 5000 clients)
this becomes a major nightmare to administer and track (500 - 5000 classes).
Especially if you make a backup window change.  I agree with some of you
that would say that this gives you more flexibility with scheduling, but I
am really not concerned with that in light of the number of clients.

Does anyone else see a problem with this, and if not, could you offer some
possible solutions as a work around.

Thanks,

Hello,
Looking to see if anyone out there has experience with Veritas' SSO product.
If so, could you share your impressions on ease of installation, ease of
use, and if it improved your backups. Also, any particular problems you had
installing or using it would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
