Licensing OpenStorage
NetBackup jobs fail that attempt to use the disk pools or the storage units that
are based on the disk pools. The error message indicates that the feature is
not licensed.
NetBackup does not delete the disk pools or the storage units that are based on
the disk pools. You can use them again if you enter a valid license key.
No special installation is required for the NetBackup components of OpenStorage.
However, you must enter a license key.
The following procedure describes how to use the NetBackup Administration
Console to enter the license key.
Note: Enter the license key on the NetBackup master server and on each media
server that connects to the disk appliance. If you use the direct to tape feature,
also enter the license key on each NetBackup media server that you use for direct
to tape. Those media servers also must have the NetBackup for NDMP software
installed. The license key that activates OpenStorage also activates the NDMP
software on the media servers.
