 1 - Yes
 2 - On each media you need a SSO license and SAN Media license.
 3 - You can connect only the tapes, and the arm control stay with the
master, but particularly I preffer connect the robot and tapes, is more easy
to configure using the wizard if you has many tapes.
 4 - If you want to make backups using the SAN or to maintain the arm
control with the master, yes.

Assunto: [Veritas-bu] Questions about NetBackup Shared Storage Option (SSO)

Hi,

Currently we are running NB 5.0 and doing LAN-based backups. We have one
tape library (StorageTek L180) that is directly connected to the master
server. We'll be upgrading our backup infrastructure to Netbackup 6.0 and
move from LAN-based backup to SAN-based backup using NetBackup's SSO option.

Even though I did do my homework and read through "Shared Storage Option
(SSO) Topics" of "Veritas NetBackup 6.0 Media Manager SA's Guide" page by
page, I still have a few questions:

1) How does Veritas license SSO? Is it based on tape drives?

2) Does each master/media server that will be sharing the tape drives need
an individual SSO license, or only one single SSO license is needed and can
be installed on all the servers?

3) We'll be connecting the tape library (StorageTek L180) to the SAN switch
during the upgrade. Do we just connect the robot to the FC switch, or we
need to connect the robot and all of the tape drives that are in it to the
FC switch?

4) We'll be running EMM on the master servers which will act as the host
allocating and deallocating tap drives. In this case, do the master servers
need to be connected to the SAN?

Thanks,

Rongsheng
