    Your vault extension must always match your NBU server patch level. So, if your NBU server version is 6.5.6, you must also install Vault patch 6.5.6.

    As from 7.0, all agents and options are installed with the server software. No need for separate vault package installation anymore.

    What i got from your post is when NB 7 get installed. it will install NB vault.

    Now, how about the licensing?

    Extract from NBU Installation Guide:

    UNIX package consolidation

    Starting with NetBackup 7.0, most of the add-on products
    and database agents are now installed with the NetBackup
    server or the client package. Separate installation for these
    products is no longer needed.
    The following products are now included in the NetBackup
    server package (if the platform supports the product):
    ■ BMR master server
    ■ NDMP
    ■ NetBackup Vault

     

    Licensing is the same as before - you need to add the license key on the master server to unlock the funtionality.

     

    Extract from Vault Admin Guide:

    Note: The nbvault service only starts automatically if you have a combined license key for both NetBackup and Vault. If you have a separate Vault license key, you must add the Vault license key and then start the nbvault service manually.
