Questions for NMC and Database size
Hi
I'm going to install Networker Management Console 3.2.2 in two windows server to monitor three solaris backup servers 7.2.2. I think that I will need license for NMC. Is correct?.
But in the next month I will update my 3 solaris backup server to 7.3.4, so should I need the NMC license when my servers are in 7.3.4 release?. Having 3 backup servers in 7.3.4 give me the possibility of installing 3 NMC? Could them be in Windows having the backup servers in Solaris?.
By the other hand, I have seen how to calculate the size of NMC Database, but we are also thinking to install Backup Advisor. So which size is recommended?. We have about 250 clients in 3 servers and 70 dedicated storage nodes.
Thanks

- No license required for NMC. Install 3 NMC packages (I'm afraid you will need newer client for that too) and that's it. I agree that single NMC server should be enough to monitor all 3. However, if those datazones are isolated then do 3 of them. Or if they are not you can have each of them monitor all 3.
You do not size the database size as DB size will simply grow - you do not limit it to certain size as with some other db models. Only if you would use external database with EBA then config and datamine dbs could be limited - check installation guide for EBA on that subject and recommended values. amediratta

As per the compatibility guide, NMC 3.2.2 supports Networker Versions 6.1.4 and above for Windows, UNIX & Linux.
NMC 3.1 supported NW 7.2 onwards.

NMC Server can be installed on Windows to administer Solaris NetWorker servers.
Normally you would install 1 NMC to monitor all NetWorker servers. You can though, run multiple NMC Console GUIs (on Windows or Unix). Having multiple NMC Servers each monitoring the 3 NetWorker servers could cause performance issues. Having a NMC Server for each NetWorker server defeats the purpose of NMC which is to centrally manage all NetWorker servers.
Sorry, don't know how to calculate EBA database size.
