Integrating HP Data Protector software with HP Data Deduplication Solutions

Figure 6: VLS Licensing Example
Usable native capacity of a virtual tape library (VTL) is the size on disk of the virtual tape library consumed
by all protected HP Data Protector backups as reported by the VTL.
A total of five B7038AA Advanced Backup to Disk licenses are required to allow HP Data Protector
software to utilize all 5TB in the example depicted in Figure 6.
Note
Virtual Tape Libraries can be upgraded using capacity-kits to extend the
VTL’s usable native capacity. Further backups to the virtual tape library
(VTL) in the example in Figure 6 will exceed the total licensed Advanced
Backup to Disk capacity therefore additional licenses will be required.
Proper capacity planning is mandatory to not exceed the total licensed
capacity.
