As I understand it, one needs to buy one managed system (LAN or SAN) per managed SYSTEM, regardless of how many nodes are registered on that system. The 'q license' report is not necessarily a good indication of how many client BA licenses you have to buy (it works well for TDPs and libraries).

Also, if you use separate nodenames for Tivoli Data Protection clients, everyone will count as 1 Managed System LAN. I'm not sure, but I also think that every Managed System SAN counts as one managed systems lan also.

"ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] RIST.EDU> 2002-01-15 16:45 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" I'm in the midst of doing a cleanup job on our TSM servers. When I do a 'q license', one of the results is: Number of Managed System for LAN in use: 107 My question is, what counts as 'in use'? For example, there are a bunch of nodes that are defined and are no longer used or associated with any schedules. Do these count as 'in use', and if so, should I export the node out of the db and delete it to get the license counts down? One other question: anyone got a query to figure out which nodes are NOT associated with a schedule. This would help me identify nodes that are candidates for export. Many thanks, Dylan
