Manager-of-Managers Environment

Centralized Licensing

 

Moving Licenses in the MoM Environment

 

If you have not configured centralized licensing, you cannot move

 

licenses between cells without the approval of the HP Password Delivery

 

Center. This is, however, possible in the MoM environment with

 

configured centralized licensing, where the MoM administrator allocates

 

licenses as needed.

 

In the example below, assume that the clients from one cell were moved

 

to another. This resulted in the need to move the licenses.

Enterprise

Assume that two Cell Managers, Aztec and Mayan, are configured in the

Environment

enterprise environment with centralized licensing. Aztec is an HP-UX

Before the

Cell Manager with a Cell Manager for UNIX - Single Drive license. There

Reorganization

is also an NDMP server connected in the cell that requires an NDMP

 

Server Backup Extension license. Mayan is also an HP-UX Cell Manager

 

with one Cell Manager for UNIX - Single Drive license.

Reorganization of

The Aztec cell needs to be reorganized, with most of the clients and the

the Enterprise

NDMP server being transferred to the Mayan cell. Mayan now needs the

Environment

NDMP Server Backup Extension license. Follow the procedure described

 

below to move the license:

 

1. In the Data Protector Manager-of-Managers, click Clients in the

 

Context List.

 

2. Right-click the Aztec Cell Manager and then click Configure

 

Licensing. The types and numbers of licenses available to the Aztec

 

Cell Manager are displayed. Remove the NDMP Server Backup

 

Extension license.

 

3. Click Finish to apply the configuration.

 

4. Right-click the Mayan Cell Manager and then click Configure

 

Licensing. Add the NDMP Server Backup Extension license.

 

5. Click Finish to apply the configuration.

Enterprise

The Aztec Cell Manager now has one Cell Manager for UNIX - Single

Environment After

Drive license and the Mayan Cell Manager has a Cell Manager for UNIX

the Reorganization

- Single Drive license and an NDMP Server Backup Extension license for

 

the NDMP server.
