Re: [Veritas-bu] License needed for VMware Backups
Hi Simon, As others correctly pointed out, if you are using the traditional licensing model, you need one Enterprise Client Tier 2 for each hypervisor host and one App/DB pack Tier 2 Windows/Linux/SolX64 for each hypervisor host if you need to protect applications running in VMs. If you are using the capacity licensing model, you don't need extra licenses, provided you have your VM front-end TB capacity covered by the existing license set (although this is not enforced by NBU). If you are running Windows/Linux and predominantly VMs, you may benefit from the new licensing model of NBU 8.0 called NetBackup Enterprise Virtual Client.

Re: [Veritas-bu] License needed for VMware Backups
Hi Simon, Yes you just need the Netbackup Enterprise Client License Tier 2 to backup the VMs on the ESXi servers. Additionally if you have any App or DB level backups the NBU App/DB pack would have to be added on.

Re: [Veritas-bu] License needed for VMware Backups
A couple of years ago our sales person told us for each Hypervisor we need "Enterprise Client" licenses. Our Hypervisors are MS Hyper-V rather than VMWare but I'd assume the same was true for VMWare hypervisors. Symantec sold off Veritas including NetBackup last year and the licensing renewal was a bit muddier this last go round vbut someone else here did it so I don't have details. My recollection is that 2 socket machines were tier 1and more than 2 sockets was tier 2. -Original Message- From: Veritas-bu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of WEAVER, Simon (external) Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2017 12:36 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] License needed for VMware Backups Hi All Quick question (to anyone alive on this list).
