An SSO license allows multiple media servers to share drives, like in a
SAN environment. To have a media server backup clients other than
itself, you need a full media server license.

As I understand it the SAN Media Server license is only to allow a
server on the SAN to backup and restore itself. An SSO license allows
a media server to backup and restore other servers. We use SSO for the
purpose you indicate here with no problems.

NetBackup 5.1_MP5 fixes include:
Etrack Incident = ET522055
Description:
Restore to an alternate client (not a master or media server) by a SAN
media server failed with an error status 159:
The licensed features for this system did not permit the backup of a
remote client (<client>). To avoid this issue, make sure that the
license key is entered properly.
SAN media server licensing should be enforced for backup but not for
restore to allow maximum flexibility for device recovery and data
restoration.

Hi Bob
I don't think there's a way of knowing for sure without trying!
PLEASE try and let the list know - my gut-feel says it should work as
long as all the necessary SERVER entries are in place. Just make sure
you have all the necessary logs in place before you start:
bprd on the master, bpbrm on the media server, bpcd on the client.
GOOD LUCK and please let us know!
Marianne

can a licensed SAN media server be used to restore data to a
client other than itself?
