Re: TSM license audit not equal number of nodes
Hi Joe, Thanks for your response. You are right, the way the TSM server counts licenses has nothing to do with what you are required to buy. In TSM V2 and V3 it did, but in V4 and V5 they changed the buying requirements, but didn't much change the server code. I understand your frustration with not getting a straight answer on licensing. Last year when we tried to renew our maintenance agreeement, we got 3 different quotes from 3 different people; lowest was 10K, highest was 30K, middle (the correct one) was 18K. I work with an IBM Business partner, we sat down and STUDIED the doc available on the Tivoli Business partner site. The doc explaining what you have to buy is there, but many BP's don't bother to read it or don't understand it; MANY give you incorrect quotes because they don't understand that workstations and servers are licensed differently (and many of their customers back up only servers, so I suspect the question never comes up). Here is the actual deal for what you are required to buy: There are 2 TSM server products: TSM V5 and TSM V5 Extended Edition. They have different product numbers. If you do NOT need DRM, HSM, or Server to Server, and your tape library has at most 40 slots, you qualify for TSM V5; if not you must buy Extended Edition. There is NO charge for a TSM server; you can run as many as you like. You are charged based on the number of machines you back up. The charge is higher per client under TSM V5 EE than TSM V5. The TSM server counts as a server being backed up. A CLIENT/WORKSTATION is a computer that provides NO SERVICES to another computer. If you have a big machine with 4 processors that is used by an engineer to do CAD drawings and DOESNT PROVIDE SERVICES to other machines on your network, that is a WORKSTATION. If you have a very tiny old machine with 1 processor that is used as a firewall or print server, that machine is providing services to other machines, so it counts as a SERVER. You count the number of CLIENT/WORKSTATIONs you have; each one needs 1 CLIENT/WORKSTATION license. For your SERVER machines, you count the number of physical processors in all the machines to get the number of SERVER/PROCESSOR licenses you need. SO if you have, say, 2 stand-alone graphics boxes and 5 desktop PC's to back up, you would need 7 CLIENT/WORKSTATION licenses. The number of processors in those machines is irrelevant. If you have 5 servers with 4 processors and 3 servers with 2 processors that you back up, you would need to buy 26 SERVER/PROCESSOR licenses. (5*4 + 3*2). SERVER/PROCESSOR licenses cost more than CLIENT/WORKSTATION licenses; so IT'S IMPORTANT to get your count correctly. Many VARS will ask you how many processors do you have, it's licensed by processor..., but that AIN'T SO for workstations. If you are backing up any workstaions, MAKE SURE your VAR's bid breaks out those two numbers, or you'll be charged too much. If you have more than 1 TSM node name registered for one of your servers, that doesn't matter. You don't have to buy more licenses. The TDP's have their OWN product numbers. They are also licensed by the number of processors in the machines where the TDP is installed. Each machine must ALSO be counted in your SERVER/PROCESSOR count for the basic TSM client, because you have to install the basic client along with the TDP (to get the API code). That's it, in terms of paying for client licenses. And that has nothing to do with the number of client licenses you register with the REGISTER LICENSE command. You register one MGSYSLAN license for each node name you will have defined to TSM. And as you see from prevous discussions, in V4 IBM stated clearly that you were not required to have licenses for machines that had not backed up in over 30 days. For V5, nobody seems to be sure what the cutoff date is... Hope that was some help.

Nobody can give you straight answer what is server and what is workstation. Even when you talk to passport advantage you can get different answer which license you need to buy. On the top of that I don't understand how TSM counting licenses. In my case it is different from number of registered nodes and it is different from number of filespaces.

Re: TSM license audit not equal number of nodes
Sorry to bring this up again, but... I KNOW that in TSM 4.1, the server behavior was to stop counting the licenses after 30 days of non-use. It was documented in the server README (I think that's where it was), and I verified it on our running systems. I have not seen it documented anywhere for 5.1 or 5.2; has anyone? I sat down and checked mine; I checked the data in the license_details table against the output of q license, and it APPEARS that my license manager (TSM 5.1.6.2) is counting all the clients that have connected in approx. the last YEAR. But it's hard for me to be sure since this server isn't much older than that. Could some of you please check yours and let me know?

Re: TSM license audit not equal number of nodes
David, IBM still does charge by node if you say the node is not a server. It is up to us, the customers, to characterize the machines to be backed up and then buy the proper number and kind of licenses. If you say a machine is a single user desktop, even if it has 2 processors and has more raw power than some of your servers, you need just 1 desktop license which is about a fifth of the price of a server license. The TSM pricing model is now function based. The license to backup a server is more expensive because the value to you is greater than the value of an end user desktop backup.

Re: TSM license audit not equal number of nodes
David, a little of my history with tsm is in order. I have been with it since v1 r1. Back then there wasn't any audit license command or any other tool to tell me what the usage was. I asked the salesman how to figure it out and he had no clue either. I developed my own reports using db2 (tsm didn't have sql until v3) to get a count of nodes in use and to license accordingly. Consequently, I have never relied on the audit license table; I set the mansyslan count to to keep it from whining at me. I have always relied on outside info to order licenses. Basically I agree with you; the audit license command does not give meaningful information, especially since it can't tell which of the servers clients are themselves servers and how many processors are in each. - bill At 12:25 PM 3/10/2004, you wrote: And none of what you writes makes the TSM software audit of licenses meaningful.

Try running the AUDIT LICENSE command. After that completes, run QUERY LICENSE again. See if that makes any difference.

Re: TSM license audit not equal number of nodes
So, are you saying that if I had no new node related activity in 30 days, that these 2 numbers would eventually match and be accurate? Nancy - I would like to believe that. :-) If memory serves me: as of a couple of years ago at least, the license management was not done by TSM software, but by third-party software, with TSM having only indirect control of it; so what we see may not be exactly what we would like to see/need to see. As you've no doubt seen in many postings about licenses, too much surrounding it is like trying to read tea leaves... There isn't as much computer science in this as we might expect. Richard Sims
Re: TSM license audit not equal number of nodes
OK... well, then I don't know what the discrepancy is. There could be some problem in the code related to licensing; something is ringing a vague bell in my head about nodes registered earlier that have since been removed, but the license count was not decremented. But I can't say for sure. Talk to your sales rep. While 4.1 is no longer supported, the sales rep might be able to engage support enough to at least answer the question.
