RE: [Veritas-bu] can SAN media server restore clients?

[Bob Stump]

The point is that as of 5.1 MP5 a SAN media server can now restore to ANY client.   >>> "Jeff Lightner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5/3/2006 3:15 PM >>> 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.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Stump Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 2:29 PM To: Marianne Berg; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] can SAN media server restore clients?   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. >>> "Marianne van den Berg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/28/2006 3:55 PM >>> 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 -----Original Message----- From: Bob Stump [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 2006/04/27 09:20 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Cc: Subject: [Veritas-bu] can SAN media server restore clients? can a licensed SAN media server be used to restore data to a client other than itself?
