Install VMWare Netbackup Functionality

[kimihira]

All,

I have installed a new Netbackup environment and install the correct licenses.   I have added the credentials for a VMWare Vcentre server, but they are not being displayed and VMWare options for the policys are greyed out.   I remember that last time I did an install, I had to do something to enable support for VMware, but I can't remember what it was - any ideas?

I have installed ..... the correct licenses. 

Which licenses have you installed?

You need Enterprise Server as well as Enterprise Client license on the master server, or else 'Capacity License'.

Extract from  NetBackup for VMware Administrator's Guide: 

p. 25:

NetBackup for VMware license requirement
NetBackup for VMware requires an Enterprise Client license for each ESX Server.
To protect an application or database, note: an additional license for the appropriate
NetBackup package is needed for each ESX server that hosts the application or
database.

Also on page 30:

Install the NetBackup 7.6 Enterprise Client license on the master server,
and install NetBackup client 7.6 software on the VMware backup host.

Seems you are missing Enterprise Client license.

Check your license key certificates, or speak to your Symantec reseller.
