Upgrading from NetWorker 9.0 and using traditional enablerbased licensing

When you upgrade to NetWorker 9.0, if you used the traditional enabler-based model of licensing in your previous NetWorker version, you can use the new EMC Licensing

Solution with the capacity entitlement, or continue to use your traditional enabler-based licensing.

If you want to continue using traditional licensing, you must still install the EMC License

Server and also apply the update entitlement, provided within the license file. The

sections Important information for new and upgraded installations of NetWorker on page

10

and

Requirements for new and upgraded installations on page 18 provide more

information.

You can use the evaluation period, which provides you with 30 days along with an additional 15 days grace period, to determine whether you want to use the EMC Licensing

Solution or continue using traditional enabler-based licensing. EMC recommends upgrading to the EMC Licensing Solution as this model provides the most effective management of all NetWorker features and available capacity through the application of a license file.

About the traditional licensing model

You can download and evaluate NetWorker software and added features, such as modules, from the EMC Online Support website at https://support.emc.com

. The software can be evaluated for 30 days without an enabler code or license. After that, you can obtain evaluation enablers for each added feature to extend the evaluation period for

an additional 45 days. The evaluation process on page 36 provides information.

To permanently use the NetWorker software with the traditional enabler-based licensing model, you must license the software on the EMC Licensing site and apply the supplied licensing key on the NetWorker server. The license key includes permanent enabler codes and corresponding authorization (auth) codes.

How to permanently license the

NetWorker software on page 39

provides information. Additionally, the EMC Software

Price Guide: Open Storage Software provides more details.

Base enabler

Each installation of NetWorker server software must be licensed with a base enabler.

Only the server’s enabler is called a base enabler. This enabler turns on the software and allows the use of a particular bundle of features, such as a specified number of clients and devices. All license keys are typed and stored on the NetWorker server, which enforces the licensing.

Base enablers come in different editions that enable varying degrees of functionality.

Add-on enablers allow a broader scope of features.

EMC NetWorker 9.0.x Licensing Guide


NOTICE

You cannot delete the base enabler. You can use the nsrcap command line utility to upgrade or downgrade the base enabler. However, once a base enabler has been upgraded or downgraded, you cannot return to the original lower function base enabler.

You must obtain a new base enabler from EMC Licensing. For example, if you upgrade from Work Edition to Power Edition but then regress back to Work Edition, the old Work

Edition base enabler is invalid. You must obtain a new Work Edition base enabler from

EMC Licensing.

The following tips apply to the base enabler: l l

As soon as the base enabler is typed, the evaluation mode ends. A function that was available during a 30-day evaluation mode must be specifically enabled with either an evaluation or permanent enabler.

When typing a group of enablers, always type the base enabler last to avoid disabling the non-base-enabled features.

Evaluation enabler

Evaluation enablers are free, and must be applied on the NetWorker server. An evaluation enabler extends the evaluation period for an additional 45 days. The evaluation enabler cannot be extended or permanently enabled. It must be removed from the production environment before or on its expiry date.

Evaluation enabler on page 36

provides more information.

Update enabler

An update enabler is necessary to move from an existing major NetWorker release to a newer major NetWorker release, for example, from NetWorker 8.1 to NetWorker 8.2.

Updating within a minor release, for example, from NetWorker 8.1 SP1 to NetWorker 8.1

SP2, does not require an update enabler.

With NetWorker 8.1 and later, if an update enabler is required, the NetWorker software automatically adds the required update enabler code to its configuration. The update enabler expires after 45 days. You must contact EMC Licensing within 45 days to permanently authorize the update enabler.

NOTICE

If the auth (authorization) code for the update enabler code is not applied within 45 days, the NetWorker server software will be disabled. Typing the auth code enables the software even if the update enabler code has expired.

Update enabler alert

An alert message is generated 45 days before a NetWorker update enabler code expires.

This alert remains until the NetWorker update enabler is authorized.

To view the license alert, use one of the following methods: l

In the NetWorker Administration window: l

1. Click Monitoring.

2. Select the Alert tab.

In the Console window, click Events.

NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model l

Type

nsrwatch

at the command line.

A colored icon within the alert message indicates that the update enabler will expire within 45 days. The message appears daily up to and including the day of the update enabler code expiration.

Before the end of the evaluation period, contact Licensing at emc.com, your authorized reseller, or the EMC sales team to request and obtain your update authorization code.

By the end of the evaluation period, you must permanently license the software to continue using modules or features that you have evaluated. If you do not permanently authorize the update enabler before its expiry, your backups might be impacted.

How to permanently license the NetWorker software on page 39

provides information.

The evaluation process

EMC NetWorker software and added features, such as modules, can be downloaded and evaluated for free from the EMC support website or the media kit.

You can evaluate NetWorker software in two ways: l

Evaluating a new installation of NetWorker software on page 36

l

Evaluating features of an existing NetWorker installation on page 36

By the end of the evaluation period, you must permanently license the NetWorker software to continue using modules or features that you have evaluated to back up and recover data.

How to permanently license the NetWorker software on page 39

provides information.

Evaluating a new installation of NetWorker software

When you first install the NetWorker software, you can evaluate the software with all the modules and features for free for 30 days without typing any enabler codes or licenses.

Evaluation enabler on page 36

provides information on extending the evaluation period for an additional 45 days.

Evaluating features of an existing NetWorker installation

If you are evaluating one or more NetWorker modules or features on an edition of

NetWorker software that has already been installed and licensed, perform the following steps:

Procedure

1. Contact your EMC sales representative or your authorized reseller who will place an

EVAL order on your behalf. As a result of the activation of your Eval License

Authorization Code (LAC) number you will obtain a temporary license key.

2. On the NetWorker server, type an evaluation enabler code for each module or feature

to be evaluated. How to apply an evaluation enabler code on page 37 provides

information.

A red icon indicates that the enabler will expire within 10 days. The message displays the red icon up to and including the day of the enabler code expiration.


You can delete a license enabler code at any time, whether or not it has been permanently authorized. The license is not removed when the software is uninstalled.


37


NOTICE

You cannot delete the enabler code that enables the basic NetWorker software, called the base enabler. You can use the nsrcap command line utility to upgrade or downgrade the base enabler. However, once a base enabler has been upgraded or downgraded, you cannot return to the original lower function base enabler. You must obtain a new base enabler from EMC Licensing.

For example, if you upgrade from Work Edition to Power Edition but then regress back to

Work Edition, the old Work Edition base enabler is invalid. You must obtain a new Work

Edition base enabler from EMC Licensing.

To delete an enabler code:

1. In the Administration window, click Configuration.

2. Click Registrations.

3. Right-click the license to delete, then select Delete.

4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

License process flow

To permanently use the NetWorker software to back up and recover data, you must license the software. The licensing process is the same for all editions of the NetWorker software, and for the individual modules and features.

The following figure illustrates the licensing process flow.

Figure 6 NetWorker license process flow

38

During the NetWorker licensing process:

1. EMC verifies customer purchase order. SysAdmin downloads the NetWorker software from the EMC Online Support Site.

2. EMC generates a LAC letter and emails it to the customer. SysAdmin installs the

NetWorker software in evaluation mode.



3. SysAdmin receives email with the License Authorization Code (LAC) and obtains the host ID of the NetWorker server.

4. SysAdmin applies the host ID and LAC in EMC Licensing to activate certificates.

5. EMC Licensing generates the certificates and allows you to save a copy of the certificate or send it as an email to the address of your choice.

6. SysAdmin receives an email that includes the enables and authorization codes.

7. SysAdmin applies the enablers and authorization codes for permanent NetWorker licensing.

The NetWorker license process consists of the following basic steps:

1. Download and install the software for evaluation.

2. Purchase the required NetWorker product, options, and modules from EMC or an authorized partner. The purchase order for the software lists the requested NetWorker product, options, and modules. EMC sends a LAC certificate by email in response to the valid purchase order.

NOTICE

If no evaluation period is required, the first and second steps can be performed together.

3. At the EMC Licensing site: a. Open the activation menu.

b. Type the LAC and the host ID of the NetWorker server to obtain the software license certificate.

Note

EMC Licensing confirms the license activation by email, and provides you with access to your permanent entitlements online. You can also send the certificate to an email address of your choice or print and save in a PDF format. The product license activation letter contains the license key (permanent enabler codes and auth codes).

4. Apply the license key on the NetWorker server.


To license the NetWorker software, perform the following tasks.

If required, install the NetWorker software for evaluation

If this is a new installation, install the NetWorker software according to the instructions in the NetWorker Installation Guide .

Installing the NetWorker software provides complete access to all NetWorker features for an evaluation period of 30 days.

Send the purchase order

Send the customer purchase order list of NetWorker product models to be purchased to

EMC or an authorized partner.

The purchase can include a variety of products, such as a NetWorker server, client packages, storage node packages, database modules, and deduplication.


39


Review the License Authorization Code letter

Upon receipt of a valid purchase order, EMC sends a LAC letter by email to the specified customer contact. The information in the LAC letter is used to activate the software license certificate. The NetWorker server’s host ID is also required for the activation.

Review the LAC letter, which contains the following: l l l l l l

A LAC to be used to activate the license keys for the products. A license key consists of permanent enabler codes and auth codes.

Instructions for activating the software and obtaining the license keys.

A list of the NetWorker products ordered, along with their SKU and revision numbers.

The end user site name and address. This information was posted at the time the purchase order was entered.

Contacts for licensing and support information.

NOTICE

Do not confuse a LAC with an auth code. LACs are used in EMC Licensing to obtain and activate the license key. A LAC enables you to obtain an auth code, but it is the combined application of permanent enabler and auth codes in NetWorker software that permanently licenses the software.

Obtain the host ID of the NetWorker server

The host ID is required during the software authorization process. It identifies where the

NetWorker server has been installed.

To ensure that EMC Licensing receives accurate information, use the host ID value displayed in the NetWorker Registration window. The host ID is an 8-character alphanumeric code that always appears in lowercase. An example of a host ID is abab1234.

The following steps should be performed by the customer, preferably a NetWorker system administrator.

Results

As additional licenses are added to a host profile, these new licenses will be included in future downloads.

If required, delete all evaluation enabler codes

If your evaluation requirements extend beyond 30 days, you might have installed some evaluation enablers.

All evaluation enablers except for the base enabler should be deleted before the license key is applied on the NetWorker server to permanently license the software. The evaluation enabler cannot be permanently authorized.

Procedure

1. Save all of your old enabler codes in a text file: echo print type : NSR license | nsradmin > saved_enablers.txt


3. Click Registrations.

4. Right-click the enabler code to be deleted, then select Delete.

You should remove all of the old enablers from the NetWorker software. You can delete an evaluation enabler code at any time. The license is not removed when the software is uninstalled.

5. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

6. When prompted, repeat the license deletion task. This repetition prevents accidental license deletion.

You cannot delete the following enablers: l

NetWorker update enabler l

Base enabler

The base enabler code enables the basic NetWorker software. The base enabler can only be upgraded or downgraded.

If required, upgrade or downgrade the base enabler on page 43 provides details.

If required, upgrade or downgrade the base enabler

If already installed, a base enabler cannot be deleted. However, you can upgrade or downgrade the base enabler by using the nsrcap command.

If a base enabler has already been installed on a NetWorker server for extended evaluation, an error message appears when you attempt to install a new base enabler.

Use the following procedure to upgrade or downgrade the base enabler.

Procedure

1. Open a command prompt on the NetWorker server.

2. Type the following at the command line:

nsrcap -u base_enabler_code -a authorization_code

If required, delete all evaluation enabler codes

43


Apply the license key on the NetWorker server

The final step in the licensing process is to apply the license key on the NetWorker server.

The license key consists of permanent enablers and auth codes.

NOTICE

Even if you have installed evaluation enablers that have not yet expired, in order to license the NetWorker software permanently you must apply the license key. The license key is provided in the product license activation letter.

The recommended way to obtain and install NetWorker permanent enablers and authorization codes is to automatically import and install them from EMC Licensing.

If you cannot automatically import and install the permanent enablers and authorization codes from EMC Licensing, you can manually install the permanent enablers and authorization codes.

Use the following procedure to import and apply the NetWorker license key from EMC

Licensing directly to a NetWorker server or a NetWorker License Manager system.

Procedure

1. Ensure that you have the following permissions on the NetWorker server. The permissions differ for Windows, Linux, and UNIX: l

Windows: administrator l

UNIX and Linux: root

2. Identify the location where the files were downloaded.

3. Ensure that no NetWorker backups are running.

4. Run the following nsradmin command in the directory where the source_file is located.

You can run the nsradmin command from any NetWorker client, storage node, or server: l

To install the NetWorker license keys on a local NetWorker server, type: l nsradmin -i source_file > output_file

To install the NetWorker license keys on a remote NetWorker server, type: l nsradmin -i source_file -s server_name > output_file

To install the NetWorker license keys on a NetWorker License Manager system, type: nsradmin -i source_file -s server_name -p 390115 > output_file

5. Open and review the output_file for success or failure messages to ensure that the

NetWorker licenses have been properly installed: l

Success entry message in the output file:

If the first attempt to load a license was successful, an entry similar to the following appears in the output file:

C:\PROGRA~1\Legato\nsr\bin\std>nsradmin -i infile created resource id 25.0.0.20.96.108.23.72.137.69.168.135(1)

Current query set updated resource id 25.0.0.20.96.108.23.72.137.69.168.135(2)

44



Failed entry message in the output file:

If a license load failed, entries similar to the following might appear: n

This entry in the output file indicates that the license already exists in

NetWorker and can be ignored:

C:\PROGRA~1\Legato\nsr\bin\std>nsradmin -i infile create failed: A license enabler already exists with enabler code xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx

Current query set updated resource id 25.0.0.20.96.108.23.72.137.69.168.135(3) n

If the nsradmin command has previously been used to install licenses on a host, failure messages might be generated for NetWorker licenses that already exist.

This entry in the output file indicates that the NetWorker server processes are not running on the system:

To work around this issue, start the NetWorker processes on the NetWorker server.

C:\PROGRA~1\Legato\nsr\bin\std>nsradmin -i infile pasb-tomp

39078:nsradmin: RPC error: Program not registered (severity

4, number 15)

Product licenses

NetWorker software and added features, such as modules, can be downloaded and evaluated for free from the EMC Online Support website or the media kit. The software can be evaluated for 30 days without an enabler code or license. After that, you can obtain evaluation enablers for each added feature to extend the evaluation period for an additional 45 days.

To permanently use the NetWorker software, you must license the software on the EMC

Licensing site and apply the supplied licensing key on the NetWorker server. The license key includes permanent enabler codes and corresponding authorization (auth) codes.

The EMC Software Price Guide: Open Storage Software provides additional detailed licensing information.

Using a licensing template

When determining which licenses are required, try using a template, which can prevent

“forgotten” licenses.

A template can also help determine the necessary licenses for a given configuration, which does not necessarily mean that all of these licenses must be purchased, since certain licenses are included in other licenses. For example, base licenses include a certain number of client licenses.

Procedure

1. Start with the NetWorker server (the base license).

2. Determine the desired NetWorker Server Edition.

3. Calculate the client licenses.

4. Calculate the dedicated storage node licenses.

5. Calculate the autochanger or silo licenses.

6. Calculate the Virtual Tape Library (VTL) licenses.

Product licenses

45


7. Calculate the Disk Backup Option (DBO) licenses.

8. Calculate any additional licenses, such as database module licenses.

NetWorker license tips

Calculating NetWorker licenses can sometimes be difficult. For example, recent software changes might not apply yet to the current NetWorker release.

Always check the current version of the EMC NetWorker Release Notes for your installed release for possible licensing changes.

Archiving licensing

The archive feature must be purchased and licensed separately from other NetWorker software components.

Before licensing and using the NetWorker archive feature, ensure that you have a device, either a stand-alone device or in an autochanger or silo, connected to a NetWorker server or storage node. If you are cloning archives, you must have at least two devices available.

Client connection licenses

Every computer to be backed up in a NetWorker datazone requires a client connection license, even the NetWorker server. The base enabler supports a certain number of client connections.

If more client connections are required, their licenses must be purchased separately. An

NDMP data server requires a special type of client connection license. Contact your EMC

Sale team or your authorized reseller for more information.

Note

EMC ClientPak

®

enablers are no longer required. Client licensing is now based solely on the client connection enablers.

Cluster licensing

This section discusses NetWorker cluster licensing.

NOTICE

Cluster client connection enablers are no longer required. Cluster client licensing is now based solely on the client connection enablers. However, existing cluster client connection licenses will still be honored. Each physical node of the cluster requires a client license. Virtual clients of a cluster do not require their own license.

Enabling the highly available NetWorker server

A client connection license is required for each physical node in the cluster on which you intend to run the highly available NetWorker server.

In addition, a storage node that is configured locally, that is, a storage node that uses a hostname that matches the physical hostname of the node that is running the NetWorker virtual server, does not require a separate storage node enabler.

For example, on a node in a cluster with the physical hostname Node A, a remote device defined as rd=NodeA:/dev/tape1 would not require a separate storage node enabler while the NetWorker virtual server was running on Node A. An example of this configuration is provided in the EMC NetWorker Installation Guide .

46



The Power Edition base enabler is required to run the NetWorker server on a cluster.

Enabling cluster and virtual clients

NetWorker client licensing differentiates between stand-alone computers and computers that participate in a cluster. The licenses are bound to physical nodes. Therefore, once a client connection license is allocated, any virtual clients that are running on that physical node can be backed up.

Backing up NetWorker Modules on cluster clients

The following two scenarios apply to NetWorker Modules in cluster environments.

Scenario One

To back up a NetWorker Module: l l

From the virtual client, an application module license is required for the virtual client.

From the physical host, an application module license is required for the physical client computer.

For example, physical nodes A and B are clustered and run a database. Virtual node C runs on this cluster and provides access to the database. If node C is the only way the database is backed up, one database application module license is required. If the physical node also backs up the database, a second database application module is required. Of course, client connection licenses are required for both of the physical nodes.

Scenario Two

For active-passive clusters which are made up of physical hosts, for example clusters in which one host is active and the other host is used for failover one Module license is required per virtual hostname. To obtain a failover authorization code, add a failover host

ID during the LAC activation process. Alternatively, contact the licensing team who can assist you with the transaction at [email protected]

For example, four Solaris physical hosts making up three active-passive DB2 clusters require three NMDB2 UNIX licenses.

DDS licensing

To enable DDS, one license is required for each drive that is to be shared. Once a drive is licensed as shared, any number of storage nodes can share it. DDS licensing is independent of library and storage node licensing.

NDMP licensing

NetWorker clients using the NDMP interface are licensed differently than standard client connections.

The following apply to NDMP licensing: l l l

One NDMP Client Connection license is required to protect each network-attached file system using NDMP, EMC Celerra

®

, Network Appliance, and so on.

NAS systems with multiple data movers, such as Celerra, or multiple IP hosts require only a single NDMP Client Connection License. To share the license among multiple data movers or hosts, specify the user-defined array name in the NDMP array name attribute of the Client resource.

When you perform an NDMP-DSA backup, a Storage Node license is required.

DDS licensing

47


Additionally, a file type device is supported for NDMP operations, which can also be used as a bootstrap device. A DiskBackup license is required for the file type device.

NetWorker cloud licensing

A NetWorker cloud backup option license enables you to add an unlimited number of cloud backup devices depending upon the NetWorker edition that was licensed.

NetWorker Data Domain device licensing

One Data Domain Storage System Enabler is required per datazone.

The amount of Data Domain formatted storage available in a NetWorker datazone is provided by a Data Domain Capacity Entitlement license. There is no restriction on the number of NetWorker Data Domain Device resources that can be created, other than the overall device limits for the datazone. However, there must be sufficient Data Domain storage capacity entitlement licenses for the amount of Data Domain storage used in the datazone.

The Data Domain server must be enabled with a DD Boost license. This is a Data Domain license, not a NetWorker license. If clone-controlled replication will be used, an additional Replication license is required.

To verify the license key, type the license show command on the Data Domain system. For versions 5.2.x and later, the output should read OPENSTORAGE.

If clone-controlled replication will be used, add the Replicator license key supplied by

Data Domain:

# license add license_key

NetWorker Module licensing

NetWorker Modules are licensed on the basis of one enabler per database type host.

For example, to back up the Oracle database on two hosts, two NetWorker Module for

Databases and Applications enablers are required, even if the two hosts are backed up by the same server. However, if multiple Oracle instances are running on a single

NetWorker client, only one NetWorker Module for Databases and Applications enabler is required.

NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications licensing information

The following section discusses the traditional licensing model requirements for

NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications (NMM). This information is not applicable when using the NetWorker capacity licensing model because the NMM software is included in the NetWorker capacity licensing model.

48

NMM licensing enabler code

The NMM software is also a licensed module. This means that when using the traditional

NetWorker licensing model, the NMM software requires an enabler code and the authorization to enable permanent licensing.

The NMM software is also included in the NetWorker capacity licensing model. When using the NMM software with this licensing model, it is not necessary to individually enable NMM clients.

Existing NMM enablers, that is enablers that are used for previous releases of NMM, are valid in an NMM environment. This means that new application support, such as



Microsoft Exchange 2012 and Microsoft SharePoint 2013, is enabled for existing users.

Users must upgrade and configure the NMM software. Once installed, the NMM software supports the backup and recovery of both, the new as well as the older Microsoft server applications.

Additional licensing requirements

Additional licensing is required when: l l l l l l

Using Data Domain Boost with NMM — When using Data Domain Boost with the NMM software, ensure that the licensing required for using this device type in the

NetWorker datazone is in place.

The following software should be enabled for the solution to work: n n

NetWorker server 7.6 SP1 or later software

Data Domain Device Type licensing. This enables the NetWorker software to define and address a Data Domain deduplication storage system that uses Data Domain

Boost.

n

Data Domain Boost must be enabled at the Data Domain system

Using NMM as dedicated storage node — NMM supports dedicated storage node

(DSN). The DSN license is required for any NMM client configured as a DSN.

Using client connections with NMM — A client connection license is required for every

NMM client in a NetWorker datazone. This is similar to the client connection licensing that is used with previous releases of the NMM software. The only difference is that the client software is installed separately from the NMM software on the application host.

Using NMM in a virtual environment — When using the NMM software in a virtual environment, one NMM license is required per application type on the physical host.

For example, in a VMWare environment, if the user has a single ESX server that hosts several SQL servers, one Exchange server, and three SharePoint servers, three NMM licenses will be required, for example: n n n

1 license to cover the SQL virtual machines

1 license to cover the Exchange virtual machine

1 license to cover the SharePoint virtual machines

This is regardless of the application environment that is being used.

Using NMM in a cluster environment — For cluster environments, one NMM license is required per active node. There are exceptions to this which depend on the cluster type, the application, and where the backup takes place.

Migrating from NME and NMSQL to NMM — For a NetWorker user who has licenses for legacy NetWorker modules, such as the NetWorker Module for Exchange (NME) or the

NetWorker Module for SQL (NMSQL) software, the existing license enablers will work to enable the NMM software, as long as the NetWorker server that is in use is

NetWorker 7.6 SP1 or later.

Note

Replacing the NME and NMSQL licenses with the NMM license code is not required.

NMM licensing examples

The following table provides some examples of the NMM licensing rules. It focuses on the traditional licensing model for a standalone server setup and a cluster setup for both active-passive and active-active clusters.

A user may have a four server Exchange DAG environment.

However, if the backup is done from only one of these servers, only one NMM license is required, although the data may originate from other systems in the environment.


1 license per server in the SharePoint farm where backup will take place

For SharePoint, different data types reside on and are owned by different servers that make up a farm. For backup of this environment, the NMM software is installed on and licensed for each of the servers in the farm to ensure a complete and consistent backup. It is not necessary to backup each web

SharePoint farm has one configuration database server, two content database servers, the search index server and one web front end, the user would require five NMM licenses

(one for each of these distinct entities).


NetWorker storage node licensing

The following apply to storage node licensing.

l l l

Each storage node requires a storage node license, in addition to its client connection license.

Although the NetWorker server is also considered a storage node, it does not require a separate storage node license.

A storage node which allows backup only of local data is licensed separately as a dedicated storage node.

Devices such as files or jukeboxes require device enablers, regardless of whether they are on the server, storage node, or dedicated storage node.

NOTICE

If the NetWorker storage node software is disabled (if the NetWorker server is disabled or the storage node enabler is expired), you will not be able to recover backed-up data by using the storage node. To recover that data, the remote volume must be moved to a local drive connected to the server, and the recovery performed from there.

Virtual environments simplified licensing

NetWorker includes a simplified licensing model for virtualized environments. The

NetWorker Online Software Compatibility Guide provides a detailed list of supported server virtualization environments.

Two attributes have been added to the General tab of the Client resource to identify the client as a virtual client: l l

Virtual client — Set the attribute to Yes by selecting the Virtual Client attribute checkbox if the client is a virtual client.

Physical host — If the client is a virtual client, set the attribute to the hostname of the primary/initial physical machine that is hosting the virtual client.

Virtual Edition Client Connection license

The Virtual Edition Client Connection works with all server virtualization environments supported by the NetWorker software.

The physical host specified in the Client resource's Physical host attribute will consume one Virtual Edition Client Connection license, regardless of how many virtual clients are running on that host. If a virtual machine is licensed on one physical host and then migrates to another physical host, the new physical host requires its own Virtual Client

NetWorker storage node licensing

51


Connection license. The physical hostname does not need to be fully qualified, and must be less than 64 bytes. All clients sharing the same physical host must use an identical name. Do not mix name formats such as short, FQDN, or IP address.

To free a Virtual Client Connection license that has been assigned to a physical host, all references to the physical host must be removed, by doing one of the following: l l

Changing the virtual client or physical hostname attribute in the Client resources for all virtual clients that reference the physical host.

Deleting all Client resources for virtual clients that reference the physical host.

NetWorker Modules in virtual environments

One license is required for each application type (Microsoft SQL, Exchange, and

SharePoint, Oracle, and SAP) used within all of the virtual machines on a single physical server. There are no changes to model codes for NetWorker Modules in a virtual environment, so use existing codes and license enablers.

When NetWorker Module software is running natively on one or more virtual machines, one module license per module type will be consumed per physical host, regardless of the number of virtual clients associated with that physical host. The physical host itself will also require a Virtual Edition Client Connection license. Every physical machine that might host virtual clients with modules must be licensed in this way.

Applying the Virtual Client license to an existing virtual machine after upgrading from a previous release

The Virtual Edition Client Connection license is not automatically applied to an existing virtual machine after upgrading NetWorker. As a result, the virtual machine uses one standard client license for the preexisting virtual client instead of using the virtual client license.

To take advantage of the Virtual Edition Client Connection licensing policies and free up the use of the standard client license, select the Virtual Client attribute checkbox for this

Client resource, and specify the physical host.

Licensing NetWorker support for VMware

The following section provides information on NetWorker licensing requirements for guest-based VM backups, VMware APIs for Data Protection (VADP), and the NetWorker

VMware Protection solution.

Physical ESX hosts in non-VADP configurations

The client license used for physical ESX hosts in non-VADP configurations is the Virtual

Edition Client license. This license enables backup from any resident guest VM that has the NetWorker client software installed.

52

Guest-based licensing

For guest based backups (not using VADP) with the NetWorker client installed on each physical host running a virtualization technology (Virtual Machine), only one Virtual

Edition Client license is required per physical host. The Virtual Edition Client license backs up an unlimited number of VMs or guest host operating systems.

Guest based backups that use this license include: l l l

VMWare ESX servers

Solaris zones

LDOMs


NetWorker Traditional Licensing Model l l l

LPARs nPARs

VPARs l l

Microsoft Hyper-V

Xen and others

The following licensing model is used: l l l l

One NetWorker Module license per application type, per physical host for VADP based backups.

One client connection license per physical host for non-VADP based backups.

When using VMotion, each ESX server that hosts the source Virtual Machine or destination Virtual Machine will require the virtual edition client license and the appropriate application module license.

For ESX Servers using VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and VMware HA, a NetWorker Virtual Edition Client is required for each ESX Server in the ESX Cluster

Farm. The appropriate number of module licenses depending upon the applications running in the farm.

For example, an environment has 60 VMs on 5 ESX Servers. Of the 60 VMs, 6 host SQL

Server, 1 hosts Exchange and 1 hosts SharePoint. DRS and VMotion are used and the entire farm needs to be protected. The following licenses are needed: l l

Qty 5 of NetWorker Virtual Edition Clients (1 for each ESX Server in the farm)

Qty 7 of NMM licenses l n n n

For SQL, it would be Min (6, 5) = 5

For SharePoint, it would be Min (1, 5) = 1

For Exchange, it would be Min (1, 5) = 1

For application backups, a NetWorker Virtual Edition Client and the appropriate

NetWorker Application module is required for each physical server. One license is required for each application type (SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, Oracle, and SAP) used within all of the VMs on a single physical server. There are no changes to model codes for NetWorker Modules, so use the existing codes and license enablers.

For application protection, one NetWorker Module license is required per application type, per physical host for all virtualization technologies, including VMware ESX

Server, IBM LPAR, and Solaris Domains.

For example, an ESX server hosting three (3) Exchange servers requires only a single

NMM license. An ESX server hosting three (3) Exchange servers and a SharePoint server would require two NMM licenses; one license for the three Exchange servers and one license for the SharePoint server.

NetWorker VMware Protection licensing

For the NetWorker VMware Protection solution, using the EMC Backup and Recovery appliance with the traditional license requires a disk backup enabler, since this solution uses a single AFTD for NetWorker registration with the EMC Backup and Recovery appliance.

The NetWorker Licensing Guide provides more information on the disk backup enabler.

Virtual environments simplified licensing

53


VADP licensing

For VADP backups of a VMware environment, one Virtual Edition Client license is required per VADP proxy host, regardless of the number of VMs and ESX servers configured to perform backups by using the proxy backup host.

Using existing licenses to support VADP after upgrading

When upgrading to NetWorker 8.1 and later from a release previous to NetWorker 7.6

SP2, note that the VADP proxy is used instead of VCB. The existing license used by the

VCB proxy will automatically be migrated to support the VADP proxy.

Virtual Tape Library licensing

A Virtual Tape Library Frame license must be purchased for each physical hardware frame that supports VTLs. If the Virtual Jukebox attribute is set to Yes during configuration, but a

Virtual Tape Library license does not exist, the configuration will succeed but subsequent library operations will fail.


This tables lists the 45-day temporary evaluation enabler codes for NetWorker products.

These codes can be used to extend the evaluation period on NetWorker server products.

If your NetWorker software is purchased and licensed, you can use these codes to evaluate the rest of the EMC family of products. If more than one enabler code is listed for a part number, any of the codes can be used.

Consider: l l l l

After entering the enabler code, the feature can be evaluated for 45 days.

These enabler codes are temporary and cannot be permanently authorized. To permanently authorize NetWorker products, you must purchase new enabler codes, which can then be authorized.

Each evaluation enabler code can be entered on only one computer on the network. If a code is entered on more than one computer on the same network, a copy violation error occurs and the NetWorker server software is disabled.

Case is important when entering enabler codes.
