Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU Licensing Question - Phys. Drives vs. VirtualDrives

[Paul Keating]

Title: Message

You will need 4 tape drive licenses, for the physical drives, and a license for the VTL based on the amount of usable storage (ie, after RAIDsets, etc have been setup). With that you can create any number of virtual tape drives on the VTL.   Paul     -- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of "Koster, Phil" Sent: August 24, 2006 11:41 AM To: veritas-bu Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU Licensing Question - Phys. Drives vs. VirtualDrives We got bids in for new back up solutions and one of them proposes 16 virtual tape drives but only 4 physical LTO-3 drives.  Does anyone know off the top of their head how that would work?  (Would we need 16 tape drive licenses to go along with all the clients etc?).    There would not be any addition of media servers or clients.  The proposal is basically a proprietary SAN set up that has up to 32 VTD emulation channels to interface with NBU, NBU would not be able to use it as a DSSU, and NBU will not have direct access to the LTO-3’s, only the VTDs.   Thanks.   Phil Koster Network Administrator City of Grand Rapids Direct: 616-456-3136 Helpdesk: 456-3999
