Re: [Veritas-bu] Clustered Master servers

Bobby, I'm running clustered master servers just as you describe, and according to our Symantec rep, you do not need SSO licenses for your clustered master servers. However, if those same drives are shared with other media servers, then the answer becomes yes, you do need SSO licenses.
