To clarify SSO licensing.. You need one SSO license for each tape drive you 
plan to dynamically share.  I.e. if you have 10 tape drives connected to the 
SAN and plan to share 6 of them between 20 servers, you would need 6 SSO 
licenses.

 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
