After creating a capacity licensing report
After using nbdeployutil to gather report data, use the --report --capacity option to generate a capacity licensing report in the form of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
This topic reviews the different tabs that appear in a capacity licensing report and provides an overview on the process of reconciling the report with the actual NetBackup environment.
Use the following steps to examine the report results:
