VTL licensing for openStorage EMC appliance
Hi all,
I would like to know what licensing that required enabling netbackup open storage feature for EMC VTL?
The configure disk storage wizard is grayed out.
Netbackup enterprise 7.1.0.1
Base on what I understand that the enterprise disk option is required (front-end terabytes). Is the virtual tape option included as a part of enterprise disk option licensing? Is netbackup deduplication option required as well for disk storage to be configured? Please advise. Thanks
Sammy
As mentioned, Enterprise DIsk will give you access to write to a VTL device, a dedupe appliance, or device that performs replication. Bascially anything more advanced than a JBOD needs Enterprise disk licensed.
Backing up to an internal disk or JBOD is included in the default NBU licensing.
If your VTL does dedupe, you still only need the Enterprise disk license. You wouldn't have to buy any "dedupe licenses."
