Licensing OpenStorage

No special installation is required for the NetBackup components of OpenStorage. However, you must enter a license.

The following procedure describes how to use the NetBackup Administration Console to enter the license.

Note:

Enter the license on the NetBackup primary server and on each media server that connects to the disk appliance. If you use the direct to tape feature, also enter the license on each NetBackup media server that you use for direct to tape. Those media servers also must have the NetBackup for NDMP software installed.

See About OpenStorage direct to tape.
