How NEVC licensing works
The NetBackup Enterprise Virtual Client (NEVC) model enables you to license NetBackup based on how many CPU sockets are used. When you set the license type as NEVC, nbdeployutil captures CPU socket usage information.
Scenarios to report CPU socket count:
If the backup of a virtual machine is from a standalone host, the usage is the CPU socket count on the standalone host.
If the backup of a virtual machine is from a host that is part of a cluster, the usage is the CPU socket count on all hosts that are part of the cluster.
Virtual machine migration: If a virtual machine that is part of a host is migrated to another host, the usage is the CPU socket count on both hosts. The backup from both hosts must be completed in last 90 days.
Note:
Multi-master support is not applicable for NEVC licensing.
