How many licenses for Lotus Notes?

[guilhh]

Our Lotus Notes environment is running in a Microsoft Cluster (With Legato agent 2.2).

After running the backup two licenses were accepted (to physical and virtual client). For another agents we just need a license for the virtual client (SAP R/3 Oracle, SQL Server, etc).

BusinesSuite Module for Lotus Notes
Available: 2
Used: 2
Remaining: 0
Connected Clients: notes01, serverX;

Where notes01 is the virtual client in the physical host serverX.

Now, I´m unable to configure the second notes server because the license is missing.

Any idea? Regards ... Guilherme.

I *think* it should work like this; You nedd one cluster license per pysical node, and only one Notes license.
That is, if the cluster is "correctly" configured as an active-passive cluster, and the notes db is "owned" and accessed using the virtual hostname. So the client definitions for the physical hosts should have save set "All" and the virtual host should have "NOTES:". If the physical hosts "takes" a notes license, then the cluster is perhaps not configured correctly, or the name resolution maybe off.
Could ofcourse be a bug, so check out the "fixed bugs" lists for the different NML and NetWorker versions.

You could try to re-configure the clients like this:

1) Write down all info about the client defenitions for the
members of the cluster
2) Delete the clients
3) Delete the Notes licenses
4) Re-add the clients
5) Perform a backup (will complain about missing license)
6) Re-add the licenses and try again.

Hope any of this helps!

Our supplier asked us to upgrade from 7.1.3 to 7.2 (some fixes about virtual clients). Unfortunately, the problem still remains.

I used nslookup to check the resolution of the IP/Hosts for the physical and logical clients (everything seems fine).

Anybody knows what can be wrong (maybe in our cluster configuration)?
