Adding the NetBackup for NDMP license key on Windows servers
NetBackup for NDMP installs on a Windows system when the NetBackup server software is installed. No separate installation procedure is required. However, you must enter a valid license key to use NDMP. Use the following procedure on the Windows host that you want to be the NetBackup for NDMP server.
Note:
If you install in a clustered environment, first freeze the active node so that migrations do not occur during installation. For information about freezing a service group, see the clustering section in the NetBackup High Availability Administrator's Guide for the cluster software you are running.
To add the NetBackup for NDMP license key on Windows servers
- Install NetBackup server and client software as explained in the NetBackup Installation Guide for Windows.
- The new license key appears in the lower part of the dialog box.
NetBackup for NDMP is part of the core NetBackup product. To make sure a valid license key for NetBackup for NDMP is registered, do the following to list and add keys:
