Unfortunately, this particular NBU environment is running LTO2 drives. I'm sure we'll upgrade the library eventually. I didn't know KMS was free. I'll keep this in mind for future installations.
One follow up question. The environment in which I'm setting up MSEO is currently running 6.5. I plan on upgrading it to 7.0 in the next 6 months. Which would be better: 1) Upgrade to 7.0 first, then install and configure MSEO 2) Go ahead and install MSEO and get it running. In a few months, upgrade to NBU 7 and deal with any MSEO upgrade issues at that point. -HKY On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 11:09 AM, <judy_hinchcli...@administaff.com> wrote: > My little pearl- if your tape drives are capable of hardware encryption ( > most are) use kms instead. > If you have the same manual as I have it is chapter 6. > > 1) free - no license required > 2) easy set up > 3) overhead is on the tape drives and not on the client or media server > 4) drawback is you can only have 2 encrypted pools on 6.5 but can have 20 on > 7.0 > > > -----Original Message----- > From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu > [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Dave > Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 11:05 AM > To: 'Heathe Yeakley'; 'NetBackup Mailing List' > Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] MSEO > > My only tip is to make sure your media server can handle the CPU cycles > needed for MSEO.
