Hi all,
Do I understand correctly that using OSSV requires nothing other than a filer correctly licensed for primary and secondary SnapVault - do per-seat licenses have to be obtained for each installed client ?
regards
Brendan
Solved! See The Solution
OSSV is licensed on the filer on a per seat (license pack) basis for various clients.
It used to be just sv_unix_pri and sv_windows_pri, and the licenses were not additive.
I just ran 'license' on a 7.34 simulator and found that the sv_pri license set has been greatly expanded:
sv_exchange_pri not licensed
sv_linux_pri not licensed
sv_marketing_pri not licensed
sv_oracle_pri not licensed
sv_sharepoint_pri not licensed
sv_sql_pri not licensed
sv_unix_pri not licensed
sv_vi_pri not licensed
sv_vmware_pri not licensed
sv_windows_ofm_pri not licensed
sv_windows_pri not licensed
It seems the licenses have been split out, including seperate licenses for using the integration with SMO, SME, SMSQL and SMVI.

Ah yes, so if I want to backup Windows boxes I need sv_windows_pri. I understand.
With snapvault secondary, OSSV 3.0 licenses are now free.
From the 8/11/2010 Product Bulletin on the Field Portal
--------------------
Starting with OSSV 3.0, Open Systems SnapVault will be available for free download from NOW. Customers can download OSSV software and license keys from NOW.
Open Systems SnapVault will continue to be available on the Quote Tool until further communication. However, NetApp highly recommends that customers download it from NOW.
Note: Customers still need to purchase SnapVault secondary licenses.
Scott,
That is what I was hoping but I thought it would be too generous even for NetApp to give away free backup clients.
We already have an ontap primary and secondary license so if that's all we need to use OSSV, great
Scott -
Which of the OSSV licenses are free ? All of them ?
Please, tell us, we sooo try to lead clients down the right road.
This is important stuff to us instructors - we love to tell clients about free licenses !

From your field portal here is the product bulletin..the customers can go to the now site and get their licenses. It looks like it includes all platforms for OSSV but a customer will have to check for the keys if they have snapvault secondary.
