    Hi,

     

    You can use the license on both appliances. Please tell us more about the appliances and your environment size. The appliances are not really supposed to be used as Master servers (although a dedicated Master server appliance will be released soon). If your environment doesn't run that many backup jobs you can use it. Otherwise I would suggest a master server on a separate server (physical/virtual).

    Hi,

     

    How many clients (Servers) are you going to backup to the appliance master? How many jobs per day?

     

    I would use the 5220 as the master and let the 5230 do most of the work.

    Well we are planning to run backup of all Desktop and Laptop clients + 3 Physical + 5VM servers.To make a proper load balancing and scalability do i need to go for a separate traditional Master Server for this Appliances .

    Where single traditional Master server manage  5220 & 5230 Media Appliances .If this the best way you really suggest ,we are ready to implement as you said.But confirm that single SYMC NETBACKUP PLATFORM BASE COMPLETE EDITION 7.6 XPLAT 1 FRONT END TB STD LIC is enough to setup this infrastructure up and running.

    I mean with the single license can be applied on

    1 traditional Maset Server + 5220 & 5230 Media Server Appliances.

    Yes, as per my initial reply - 

    Your licenses are 100% fine and exactly what you need.

    This license enables all features and options, including dedupe.

     

    All features and options includes any amount of servers (including Appliances), clients, etc.

    You will use the same license key on both Appliances.
