    Well, you'd install the SAN SSO option on your central server. This becomes your Primary server. This will hold the shared ADAMM and catalalog databases for the Shared Storage Network.
    Any additional servers get installed as Secondary servers, and you will put in the name of your server of your Primary server. You can do this from the Install Options and License Keys on this Media Server on each distributed server.
    Once done, the library will show up, and you can configure your jobs on those servers. These jobs will then show up on the Primary server.
    In this case, I wouldn't use the CASO option if those distributed servers are backing other servers via an agent. You can report from the SAN SSO server.

Hi

The license count fot the SSO scenario will be as follows
  • 1 SAN based server - 1 SSO and 1 base pack
  • If that SAN server is also any database server, then the respective license will be also required i.e. if exchange then Agent for Exchange server, If SQL then Agent for SQL
  • If you are having more than 1 tape drive available in the library, then for no. of additional drive - no. of LEOs (Library Expanssion Option)
  • If SSO license is not installed on respective servers, then backup will happen through LAN. That means the data flow will b through NIC not trough HBA
Please let me know in case of any doubt.
