Hi Team
we have..
4 ESXi hosts with 2 x 10Core processor in each host.
Backup will be taken on 24 slot tape library with single drive.
We will give a physical server with FC connectivity and FC tape library will be directly connected to it. As per tape library OEM it is possible, I hope even from Symantec perspective it is possible.
Please help me out with the quantity of vray license to be purchased.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Check the Hardware Compatibility List to verify the tape library's support - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=tech214803
V-Ray is licensed per socket. So, in your case, it would 8 V-Ray licenses.
Have a look @ this blog - https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/whats-included-backup-exec-v-ray-edition
Example taken from the above blog:-
“I have 3 VMware hosts running a total of 1 million virtual machines. Each host has 2 Quad-Core CPUs. I simply purchase a 6-socket license V-Ray, correct?”. The answer is yes. There are 2 sockets per host and a total of 3 hosts. That means you would purchase 6 licenses of the Backup Exec V-Ray Edition. Since Backup Exec protects an unlimited number of guest machines per host, it doesn't make a difference if you have 1 or 100 virtual machines per host machine. Backup Exec will protect them all. There is also no limit on the number of hosts you can protect. You simply count the number of sockets in the environment you wish to protect and purchase the corresponding number of V-Ray licenses.
