Hi:
Please help me with the following licensing question:
It's been said that i only need 1 license per physical server, and 1 Application and DB Pack per physical server as well, i''l be working with informix DB's running in solaris zones.
So, could you please advise wich licensing is correct:
a) 1 Standard Client License + 1 Application & DB Pack: I buy 1 standard Client License and install the client binaries in as many zones (containers) as i want, and register only 1 App and DB Pack to protect all informix databases, each in its respective container, in that physical server.
b) 1 Enterprise Client License + 1 Application & DB Pack: Similar (kind of) licensing an ESX for VMWare, i need an enterprise client license to backup all clients installed in the local (non-global) zones, just 1 App & DB Pack needed.
c) Lots of Standard Client Licenses: Since i'm installing one NetBackup client within each zone (container), in order to backup each informix database, i must license each standard client separately, just 1 App & DB Pack needed.
In case "a)" and "b)" Netbackup Server licensing would be ok (no media servers, dedup or fancy stuff), only in case b) i would need to license Enterprise Server.
My guess is "a)" but i want to make sure
Best Regards ¡

"a" is correct.
There is a seperate doc that deals with NBU and Solaris zones.
Will look for it and update this post.
*** EDIT ***
Licensing is actually covered in NBU Licensing Guide - you can download it from PartnerNet.
Extract:
So, YES - "a" is the correct licensing option.
