About the AdvancedDisk license key
AdvancedDisk is a feature that is licensed separately from base NetBackup. The
Flexible Disk Option license key activates AdvancedDisk.
You may have a single license key that activates both NetBackup and the Flexible
Disk Option. Alternatively, you may have one license key that activates NetBackup
and another key that activates the Flexible Disk Option.
See “Licensing AdvancedDisk” on page 20.
If you remove the Flexible Disk Option license key or if it expires, the following
restrictions apply:
■ You cannot create the disk pools or the storage units that reference
AdvancedDisk disk pools.
■ NetBackup jobs that attempt to use the disk pools or the storage units that are
based on disk pools fail. The error message indicates that the feature is not
licensed.
NetBackup does not delete the disk pools or the storage units that reference the
disk pools. You can use them again if you enter a valid license key.
