Nutanix博士许可

Nutanix许可是否与硬件绑定？这个问题的用例是冷DR网站。

方案 - VM将备份W第三方产品并复制到DR网站，例如Sungard，现在是时候恢复它们进行DR测试了。

如果在此冷DR网站上使用Nutanix，则必须从头开始构建它，然后才能恢复VM，可以使用主要网站上使用的许可？还是许可仅限于主站点上安装的硬件？

Thank you for taking the time to explain the scenario in the details. I did check with our licensing team. To transfer the license one would first need to release it and for this, the site must be available which is the opposite of the DR scenario.<\/p>

I recommend still checking with your Account Manager to see the options available. It is likely that you are not the first to ask the question and if you are then I am certain that Nutanix would come up with something.<\/p>","className":"post__content__best_answer"}">

Is nutanix licensing tied to hardware?\u00a0 \u00a0use case for the question is a cold DR site.<\/p>

Scenario - VMs are backed up w 3rd party product and replicated to a DR site, e.g. SunGard,\u00a0 and now its time to restore them for the DR test.<\/p>

If using Nutanix at this cold DR site, you have to build it from scratch before you can being restoring VMs to it, can the licensing used at the primary site be used for this?\u00a0 or is the licensing restricted to the hardware it was installed on at the primary site?\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>","quoteUsername":"theGman","translations":{"Common":{"like":"Like","unlike":"Unlike"},"Forum":{"Quote":"Quote","Share":"Share"}}}">

在您可以存储备份数据之前，您是否需要构建DR网站？那仍然需要许可证。还是我误会了？

Wouldn\u2019t you need to build the DR site before you are able to store back up data there? That would still need a license. Or have I misunderstood?<\/p>","quoteUsername":"Alona","translations":{"Common":{"like":"Like","unlike":"Unlike"},"Forum":{"Quote":"Quote","Share":"Share"}}}">

嗨，Alona-您的问题的答案是否定。

利用Sungard，Iron Mountain和IBM Sterling Forest Dr设施租赁硬件的大型企业，并且该硬件通常仅在DR测试和DR活动期间可用，这是降低合同成本的一种方式，并且是这些网站上使用的主要方法。由于磁带一直在缓慢垂死以来，在提到的DR站点的现场直播是租赁存储阵列的切片\设备，这些\设备从主要客户站点接收复制数据，通常是来自EMC数据域等设备的备份数据。

为了将Nutanix用作复制目标，您需要许可并建立目标群集，这构成了一个实时站点。So for example, in our case we have an enterprise backup solution that backs up both our VMware and Nutanix clusters, sends those backup to a target appliance that then replicates the backups to the DR site, servers aren’t needed for this, they are only needed to bring the workloads to life during a test or actual DR event.

也就是说，这里显而易见的是，这实际上是一个比什么都重要的许可问题。我想验证我们在生产站点中使用的Nutanix许可证实际上可能会重新分配给DR网站上的硬件，如果我们丢失了主要数据中心。有意义吗？我认为是的，但也假定在门户网站上可能会在这些许可证上做一些杂耍，但不确定。如果您可以详细说明我们需要重新分配许可证的新硬件的许可，我会很喜欢的，不仅是为了DR，甚至对于我们的生产网站。

Hi Alona - the answer to your question is no.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Larger enterprises that leverage SunGard, Iron Mountain, and or IBM Sterling forest DR facilities lease the hardware, and this hardware is often only available during DR testing and DR events, its a way to lower contract costs and is the primary method used at these sites.\u00a0 What is live at the DR sites mentioned since tape has been dying slowly are slices of leased storage arrays \\ appliances that receive replicated data from the primary customer sites, typically backup data from appliances like the EMC data domain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

In order to use Nutanix as a replication target you would need to license and build out the destination cluster, this constitutes a live site.\u00a0 \u00a0So for example, in our case we have an enterprise backup solution that backs up both our VMware and Nutanix clusters, sends those backup to a target appliance that then replicates the backups to the DR site, servers aren\u2019t needed for this, they are only needed to bring the workloads to life during a test or actual DR event.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

That said, the obvious here is that this is really a license question more than anything.\u00a0 I want to verify that our Nutanix licenses in use at our production site in fact could be re-assigned to hardware at our DR site in the event we lose our primary datacenter.\u00a0 \u00a0Makes sense right?\u00a0 \u00a0I would assume yes, but would also assume there might be some juggling to do in the portal regarding these licenses, but not sure.\u00a0 I would love it if you could elaborate on the steps to re-assign a license to new hardware if we need to do so, not only for DR, but even for our production site.<\/p>","quoteUsername":"theGman","translations":{"Common":{"like":"Like","unlike":"Unlike"},"Forum":{"Quote":"Quote","Share":"Share"}}}">

感谢您抽出宝贵的时间来解释详细信息的情况。我确实与我们的许可团队联系。要转移许可证，首先需要发布它，为此，该网站必须与DR Scenario相反。

我建议您仍与您的客户经理联系以查看可用的选项。您可能不是第一个提出问题的人，如果您是，那么我确定Nutanix会想出一些东西。
