.
If a TSM system exceeds the terms of its license agreement, one of the
following occurs:
- The server issues a warning message indicating that it is not in
compliance with the licensing terms.
- Operations fail because the server is not licensed for specific
features.
For details, see License Compliance. In either case, you must contact your TSM account
representative to modify your agreement.
The Tivoli Storage Manager feature includes the following support:
- An unlimited number of administrative clients.
- Enterprise Administration, which includes: command routing,
enterprise configuration, and enterprise logging (server-to-server).
- Server-to-server Virtual Volume capabilities (does not include database
and storage pool backup).
You must register a new license if you want to add support for any of the
following that are not already in your existing license agreement:
- Managed System for LAN. This is required for each managed system
(client) that moves data to and from storage over a local area network
(LAN).
- AFS/DFS Support, (the S/390 platform includes the S/390 UNIX client as
part of Managed System for LAN).
- Tivoli Space Manager (HSM client), also known as space-managed
clients.
- Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM), includes server-to-server virtual
volumes for database and storage pool backup.
- Tivoli Data Protection for ESS.
- Tivoli Data Protection for ESS R/3.
- Tivoli Data Protection for EMC Symmetrix.
- Tivoli Data Protection for EMC Symmetrix R/3.
- Tivoli Data Protection for Informix.
- Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus Notes.
- Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus Domino.
- Tivoli Data Protection for MS SQL Server.
- Tivoli Data Protection for MS Exchange.
- Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle.
- Tivoli Data Protection for R/3.
Note: | TSM requires one Managed System for LAN license for each Tivoli Data
Protection client.
|
If 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 the license
terms. The results of this 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 the server uses a licensed feature but the license is not registered,
TSM issues a warning message.
You can obtain licenses for features and register those licenses by
specifying the following keywords in the REGISTER LICENSE command or in the
LICENSE server option.
Note: | TSM also requires one Managed System for LAN license for each of the
following licenses:
- Tivoli Space Manager. TSM requires only one Managed System for LAN
license if an HSM client and backup-archive client are on the same system with
the same node ID.
- Tivoli Data Protection.
- AFS/DFS Support.
|
- SPACEMGMT
- To license Tivoli Space Manager (HSM clients).
- DRM
- To license Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager.
- MANAGEDSYSLAN
- To license Managed System for LAN. TSM requires one license for
each managed system (client) that moves data to and from storage over a
LAN.
- ORACLEAPPL
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for
Oracle.
- MSSQLAPPL
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for MS SQL
Server.
- MSEXCHANGEAPPL
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for MS
Exchange.
- LOTUSNOTESAPPL
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus
Notes.
- DOMINOAPPL
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus
Domino.
- INFORMIXAPPL
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for
Informix.
- R3APPL
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for
R/3.
- ESSAPPL
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for
ESS.
- ESSR3APPL
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for ESS
R/3.
- EMCSYMMETRIXR3APPL
- To license each managed system that uses Tivoli Data Protection for EMC
Symmetrix R/3.
- AFSDFS
- To license each managed system that uses AFS/DFS Support.
The REGISTER LICENSE command dynamically adds license statements to the
server options file. The OPT DD card in the server start-up JCL must
include the DISP=MOD parameter.
Note: | The server options file must be a physical sequential (PS) data set.
|
You can register one or more of these features. For example, if you
wanted to use Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager and two Tivoli Space Manager
(HSM clients), issue the following commands:
register license drm
register license spacemgmt number=2
register license managedsyslan number=2
You could also include the following statements in the server options
file:
license drm
license spacemgmt 2
license managedsyslan 2
To register 20 managed systems that move data over a local area network,
issue the following command:
register license managedsyslan number=20
An administrator can monitor license compliance by:
- Auditing licenses
- Use the AUDIT LICENSES command to compare the current configuration with
the current licenses.
Note: | During a license audit, the server calculates, by node, the amount of backup,
archive, and space management storage in use. This calculation can take
a great deal of CPU time and can stall other server activity.
Use the NOAUDITSTORAGE server option to specify that storage is not to be
calculated as part of a license audit.
|
- Displaying license information
- Use the QUERY LICENSE command to display details of your current licenses
and determine licensing compliance.
- Scheduling automatic license audits
- Use the SET LICENSEAUDITPERIOD command to specify the number of days
between automatic audits.
