HOTFIX NAME
----------
Veritas Resiliency Platform Hotfix 1 (3.5.0.1)

APPLIANCES SUPPORTED BY THE HOTFIX
----------------------------------------
Resiliency Manager

BASE PRODUCT VERSION FOR THE HOTFIX
-----------------------------------
Veritas Resiliency Platform 3.5

SUMMARY OF THE HOTFIX
----------------------------------------------------
Hotfix 3.5.0.1 includes a new license scheme 'Front-End Terabyte'(FETB), a NetBackup license which is now applicable to Veritas Resiliency Platform. 

DETAILS OF THE HOTFIX
--------------------------------------------

  Description: This 'Front-End Terabyte'(FETB) is a NetBackup license which would be applicable to Veritas Resiliency Platform once the customer installs hotfix 3.5.0.1. 

  Resolution: With the addition of this new FETB license the following would be the applicability of different Veritas Resiliency Platform licenses-
  Veritas Resiliency Platform FETB (Per-FETB): This license is consumed when the resiliency group is created using virtual machines or applications.
  Veritas Resiliency Platform Compute (Per-Core): This license is consumed when resiliency group is created using applications that are deployed on the physical hosts and no Per-FETB license is available.
  Veritas Resiliency Platform Compute (Per-VM): This license is consumed when resiliency group is created using virtual machines or applications that are deployed on the virtual machines and no Per-FETB license is available.
  Veritas Resiliency Platform Compute InfoScale per core (x86): This license is consumed when resiliency group is created using InfoScale applications that are deployed on the Windows or Linux physical hosts.
  Veritas Resiliency Platform Compute InfoScale per core (unix): This license is consumed when resiliency group is created using InfoScale applications that are deployed on the Unix or AIX or HP-UX physical hosts.

  NOTE:
  Calculation of FETB consumption:
  For protecting virtual machine: The size of the disks attached to virtual machine would be considered for consumption against FETB license irrespective of the disk type like thin or thick.
  For protecting application: The application size discovered by Veritas Resiliency Platform would be used to calculate the consumption of FETB license. For example: For Oracle Data Guard one can check the DB size (total size of the data files) using sqlplus query.
