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
Environment
Before the
Reorganization

Assume that two Cell Managers, Aztec and Mayan, are configured in the
enterprise environment with centralized licensing. Aztec is an HP-UX
Cell Manager with a Cell Manager for UNIX - Single Drive license. There
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 Enterprise
Environment

The Aztec cell needs to be reorganized, with most of the clients and the
NDMP server being transferred to the Mayan cell. Mayan now needs the
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
Environment After
the Reorganization

The Aztec Cell Manager now has one Cell Manager for UNIX - Single
Drive license and the Mayan Cell Manager has a Cell Manager for UNIX
- Single Drive license and an NDMP Server Backup Extension license for
the NDMP server.
