NSR_LICENSE(5)NSR_LICENSE(5)NAMEnsr_license - NetWorker resource type ``NSR license''
SYNOPSIS
type: NSR license
DESCRIPTION
A resource of type NSR license is used to describe each feature enabled
in your NetWorker installation. See nsr_resource(5) for more informa‐
tion on NetWorker resources. To inspect the NSR license resources
type:
nsradmin -c "type:NSR license"
or use NetWorker Management Console. NSR license resources may be cre‐
ated, enabled and authorized from the GUI, but the nsrcap(8) command
must be used to update an existing license resource. See nsradmin(8)
for more information on using the NetWorker administration program.
ATTRIBUTES
The following attributes are defined for resource type NSR license.
The information in parentheses describes how the attribute values are
accessed. Create-only indicates that the value cannot be changed by an
administrator, except when the resource is created. Read/write means
the value can be changed at any time by authorized administrators.
Read-only means the value cannot be changed by authorized administra‐
tors. Static attributes change values rarely, if ever. Dynamic
attributes may change often. Hidden means it is an attribute of inter‐
est only to programs or experts, and these attributes can only be seen
when the hidden option is turned on in nsradmin(8). For example, an
attribute marked (create-only, static) has a value which is set when
the attribute is created and never changes. Several additional
attributes (for example, administrator) are common to all resources,
and are described in nsr_resource(5).
name (create-only, static)
This attribute holds the name of the license resource.
comment (read/write)
This attribute is provided for the administrator to keep any
explanatory remarks or supplementary information about the
license.
enabler code (create-only, static)
This code is identical to the code entered into the nsrcap(8)
command to enable the feature named in this resource. The
enabler code consists of 18 hexidecimal digits, printed in
groups of 6 digits.
Example: enabler code: 123456-123456-123456;
host id (read-only, dynamic)
The unique host id associated with the computer or licensed
operating system on which the enabler has been loaded. This
value will often be an 8 digit hexidecimal number; however,
other formats are possible, depending on specific platform
requirements.
Example: host id: 7260d859;
expiration date (read-only)
The date on which this enabler will expire, if the enabler is an
evaluation enabler or an otherwise un-registered license
enabler. The enabler expires at 12:00:01 am on the date listed.
The special prefix G means that a grace period has been allowed
for this enabler. Enablers with the grace period allowed should
be registered immediately. If the enabler has been registered,
and the auth code is filled in with a valid value, the value
will be as shown in the example, below.
Example: expiration date: Authorized - no expiration date;
auth code (read/write)
An 8 digit hexidecimal value used to permanently authorize an
enabler. The unique, valid authorization code for an enabler is
obtained from EMC by registering each purchased license enabler.
Evaluation enablers cannot be permanently authorized. If the
server's host id changes, all authorization codes will immedi‐
ately be invalidated, and the enablers must be re-registered
with EMC to obtain new authorization codes.
Example: auth code: abcdef00;
license type (create-only, hidden)
A special code, used internally to describe the specific feature
or features enabled by this license enabler.
Example: license type: J16;
checksum (read/write, hidden)
A coded checksum used to maintain consistency of a NSR license
resource, and between license resources.
EXAMPLE
Below is a complete NSR license resource for an authorized base
enabler:
type: NSR license;
name: NetWorker Advanced/10;
enabler code: 123456-123456-123456;
host id: 7260d859;
expiration date: Authorized - no expiration date;
auth code: abcdef00;
license type: B10;
checksum: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
FILES
/nsr/res/nsrdb - files in this directory should never be edited
directly. Use NetWorker Management Console instead.
