Hi,
we have the company Renewal licenses in NB7.0.1 ,in sheet from symantec we have 1- table of the licenses renews every year and second table are the licenses my company owns and should be added to the renewal list this year
2- also we have the licenses certificate of the last year’s renewal done for my company, all i want the commands to find out all license we used .
Symantic Product Name: Symantec Netbackup
Product Version: 7.0.1
Operating System: HP-UX 11iv3
and we have many media servers and over 130 client also we have symantec on windows beside the unix one.
i have used the command /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/./admincmd/get_license_key but it gives me license related to features only not for all symantec license and agents and .. etc
how can i get accurate data regarding Symantec licenses that we have to be compared with the attached sheet from symantec ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

As seen you are on 7.0.1
Regarding itemized detail on WHAT ACTUALLY ARE YOU USING VS LICENSES YOU ARE ENTITLED. use nbdeployutil.
Download 7.5 utility which is more improved and gives better picture. (however not 100% accurate but still you'll save alot of MIS work time)
Download Utility from : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH148678
Path:
On UNIX and Linux systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/
On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\
Syntax:
nbdeployutil.exe --report --traditional
This would generate xls report under \netbackup\var\global\reports

Does this provide what you want ?
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpminlicense
05-31-2012 01:26 AM
As Martin mentioned, /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpminlicense
If you want more information onf features licensed:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpminlicense -verbose

NetBackup does not count number of licenses used. So, if you have added 1 license key for Standard Client, NBU will allow you to backup any number of clients.
Comparing number used vs amount on license certificate is a manual process.
You can check number of clients in Host Properties - Clients.
If Media servers and/or master are also backed up, don't include them when you add up client names.
Also check for duplicates - if client is backed up with client-name and client-name.fqdn, count only one.
If you have policies for cluster nodes (e.g node1, node2, virt-name), count only 2, not 3.
From cmd: bpplclients -allunique
Find Media servers in Host Properties -> media servers.
from cmd: nbemmcmd -listhosts
If you need to know amount of clients backed up with Database Agent, you first of all need a list of agents used in policies.
bpplclients -allunique -pt <policy_type>
Some valid values for policy_type:
Informix-On-BAR
Lotus-Notes
MS-Exchange-Server
MS-SharePoint
MS-SQL-Server
NDMP
Oracle
Sybase
DB2
For databases and media server you need knowledge of each system as well - OS, processor count (in order to validate tier level).
Please let us know if you need more info.

License sheet you got would brief you Qty vs Feature you are entitled. Repot which i'm asking you will give you same output.. It will identify you NetBackup domain , and will categariz them under this features... So you can check if you are under license or are running out it ... (NetBackup Licenses are perpatual,)
Go ahead and execute those reports and check it against your License sheet.
As seen there is SF stack included in renewal.. For thsi i believe you should use veritas Operation Manager . This is amazing tool for SF/VCS, also gives granularity in license management...
05-31-2012 04:17 AM
You are risking yourself by posting licenses in the forum; please never do that. Also when you post logs, make sure that server names are not exposed. The above act is considered to be security breach / violation.
In my ex-company; One of the backup admin was sacked from project, for posting logs in the forum that exposed the projects's client and it's backup server. Poor thing, that his colleague reported about him to the management.
So you may not know, who is watching your back. Please be extra cautious.

hi,
is there is any other way instead of this utility?
how can i confirm that this utility is running or installed before
Download Utility from : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH148678
thnx
05-31-2012 09:36 AM
Firstly this utility is different then other NBU processes which runs in background. This does requires manual intervention to execute.
Second, Do a search at given path if it exist you can use that, However would recommend to use latest one which is more improved comparatively to previous one
06-03-2012 08:03 AM
my netbackup version is 7.0.1
i want to confirm the command
nbdeployutil.exe --report --traditional
1-is it true as it was written ?
2- where is the path to run it ?
3-and how to view the output - give me in details steps - as my master server is unix
HP-UX 11iv3?
06-03-2012 09:04 AM
On UNIX and Linux systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/
On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\
Syntax:
nbdeployutil.exe --report --traditional
This would generate xls report under \netbackup\var\global\reports
use SCP to take that xls on your desktop and check the output
06-03-2012 11:42 PM
hi,
when i write the command nbdeployutil.exe --report --traditional
it gives me the error:
:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd> nbdeployutil.exe --report --traditional
ksh: nbdeployutil.exe: not found
...and the xls report under \netbackup\var\global\reports in windows or unix as it is in unix / not \
06-03-2012 11:55 PM
That is not exactly an error ...
From the path, you are on a unix/ linux server - you have entered a windows command - unix doesn't have .exe files.
Instead of posting up here and waining for a solution, you could just look in the directory and see if you can find the command ...
In this post, under part (A) I have exopkained about 'commands'.

06-04-2012 02:36 AM
sorry being a windows guy i gave you windows path
Here is what syntax look like
:/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdeployutil --report --traditional
Reports will be generated:
UNIX and Linux: /usr/openv/var/global/reports/
06-04-2012 10:06 AM
hi,
thnx for reply ... this command only if tool is already installed ,is not it?
06-04-2012 10:49 AM
hi,
how to do that "
For databases and media server you need knowledge of each system as well - OS, processor count (in order to validate tier level).??
06-04-2012 12:38 PM
You find that out by checking each client (various tools on various OS'es to get the info) or by asking system owners for info.
06-04-2012 10:13 PM
sorry but i didn't get your reply .
Download Latest utility from link i gave
replace downloaded utility with existing one. and Execute the syntax
Reason for replacement of existing utility is for improvements and fixes in existing utility. (This does not mean existing won't work, but may not / may be give you near to accurate result).. Have seen report deos categorize tiering so it would reduce your bitter of work. ;)
