NetBackup for NDMP agent
Accurate licensing for NDMP is specific to an policy type. This type of licensing collects the front-end data size (FEDS) based on the backup selections that are defined in the backup policy types.
The nbdeployutil reports actual data usage without overlap by calculating the accurate data size using the related backup files and policies. The following rules are applied to guarantee data size accuracy:
If the data size backed up by a policy with directive is greater than the sum of other policies, the data size of directive is counted.
If identical policies are taken, then the policy with the higher size is counted.
The uncounted policies are displayed with 0 data size in the report.
If the data size backed up by policy P1 is consumed in another policy, P2, then only the data size of policy P2 is counted.
If the data size is overlapped in multiple policies, then it is counted only once.
System administrators can use the following methods to verify the correctness of the data size that is reported by accurate licensing.
To verify the size of volumes with filer, log on to filer and run the following command:
volume show -fields size,used,available,percent-used.
Alternatively, the administrator can mount the volume of the filer (provided that the NFS protocol is enabled for that volume) on any UNIX-based client and run the following commands:
o du -sh o ls - lh
