The base Tivoli Storage Manager feature includes the following support:
You must register a new license if you want to add support for any of the
following features that are not already in your existing license
agreement. A license file and the REGISTER LICENSE command are used to
complete this task. Licenses are stored in enrollment certificate
files, which contain licensing information for the server product. The
enrollment certificate files are on the installation CD-ROM. When
registered, the licenses are stored in a NODELOCK file within the current
directory.
License File Name | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
mgsyslan.lic | Managed System for LAN | ||
mgsyssan.lic | Managed System for SAN
Required for each storage agent. The Tape Library Sharing feature is required on the Tivoli Storage Manager server. Tivoli Storage Manager requires this license for each client using server-free data movement. | ||
spacemgr.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Space Manager
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you are using a communication protocol other than shared memory. Only one Managed System for LAN license is required if an HSM client and backup-archive client are on the same system with the same node ID. | ||
domino.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus Domino
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
emcsymm.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for EMC Symmetrix
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
emcsymr3.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for EMC Symmetrix
R/3
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
ess.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for ESS
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
essr3.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for ESS R/3
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
informix.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for Informix
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
lnotes.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus Notes
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
msexch.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for MS Exchange
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
mssql.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for MS SQL Server
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
oracle.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
r3.lic | Each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for R/3
Also required: Managed System for LAN license if you use a communication protocol other than shared memory. | ||
library.lic | Managed Library
Required for each library in the Extended Device Category that is managed by a Tivoli Storage Manager server. For current information on supported devices, visit the TSM page on the World Wide Web at http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html. | ||
drm.lic | Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager (includes server-to-server virtual
volumes for database and storage pool backup)
Required on a source server but not on a target server. | ||
ndmp.lic | Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP
Required on a Tivoli Storage Manager server that performs backup and restore operations of a NAS file server, using Network Data Management Protocol. | ||
libshare.lic | Tape Library Sharing
Required on a Tivoli Storage Manager server that can access a shared library, including the library manager. The Managed Library license is required only on the library manager. |
To register a license, you must issue the REGISTER LICENSE command as well as the license file associated with the license. For example, to use the Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager and two Tivoli Space Manager (HSM clients), issue the following commands:
register license file(drm.lic)
register license file(spacemgr.lic) number=2 register license file(mgsyslan.lic) number=2
To register 20 managed systems that move data over a local area network, issue the following command:
register license file(mgsyslan.lic) number=20
To register 10 Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus Notes clients that move data over a LAN, using the TCP/IP communication protocol, issue the following commands:
register license file(lnotes.lic) number=10 register license file(mgsyslan.lic) number=10
With the exception of the ndmp.lic, drm.lic and libshare.lic, you can specify any number of license files to register. Always specify the total number of licenses you want registered. The REGISTER LICENSE command updates the nodelock file based on the total number of licenses you want registered. If you enter number=0 for a particular license, the license is unregistered. If you have twenty licenses and require ten additional licenses, you must register thirty.
For example, to register Tivoli Storage Manager for 30 managed systems that move data over a local area network, issue the following commands:
register license file(mgsyslan.lic) number=30
You can also register a license by specifying the product password that is included in the license certificate file. For example:
register license 5s3qydpnwx7njdxnafksqas4
Attention: Tivoli Storage Manager licenses are associated with the CPU chip of the machine on which Tivoli Storage Manager is installed. If you change that CPU chip, you must first erase the existing nodelock files and then reregister all your licenses.
Save the CD-ROM containing your enrollment certificate files. You may you need to register your licenses again for any of the following reasons:
When license terms change (for example, a new license is specified for the server), the server conducts an audit to determine if the current server configuration conforms to the license terms. The server also periodically audits compliance with license terms. The results of an audit are used to check and enforce license terms. If 30 days have elapsed since the previous license audit, the administrator cannot cancel the audit.
If a Tivoli Storage Manager system exceeds the terms of its license agreement, one of the following occurs:
You must contact your Tivoli Storage Manager account representative or authorized reseller to modify your agreement.
An administrator can monitor license compliance by:
