One of my sites is running NetWorker 7.3.2 on Linux RedHat server. We have 5 licenses for NetWorker Module for Oracle Client, Oracle8 and later UNIX (LIC-002154)
All client systems are AIX systems. When running nsrlic, only one license presents itself as "NetWorker Module for Oracle, UNIX Client/1", the other four present themselves as "NetWorker Client for Oracle, Windows Client/1".
Does anyone has a clue what could cause this strange behaviour?
It is either bug in nsrlic or wrong license. To verify license go to cmd and run following CLI: nsrcap -vnc
If it comes back with UNIX licenses then this is probably issue with nsrlic. If it comes backup with Windows license, but you are still able to backup AIX Oracle boxes then it is also bug affecting both nsrlic and nsrcap.
Don't know about AIX, but I had one Tru64 box running Oracle tha had the same problem you have, and at that time there's was a patch on the Oracle Module to apply to fix this. So, if it's not a nsrlic bug, you should contact support to see if it's the same issue.
I have seen this very regularly with Oracle module licenses.
I have a site where we have 3 Oracle licenses on Solaris(UNIX) but they all mentioned Oracle for Windows.
Ocassionally in some environments it has given problem while working. Support had then requested replacement from licensing to resolve it. But in many cases like the above example, it displays license for Windows but continues towork on UNIX for years. The environment does not have a Windows server.
