Use this command to obtain an estimate of the client devices and server devices that are being managed by the Tivoli® Storage Manager server. In addition, this command provides an estimate of the processor value unit (PVU) totals for the server devices.
This command generates a PVU estimate that is based on the number of logical nodes that are defined to the Tivoli Storage Manager server. By contrast, the calculation of license obligations is based on the number of physical computers. There might not be a one-to-one correlation between the number of logical nodes and the number of physical computers. The report generated by the QUERY PVUESTIMATE command is an estimate, which is not legally binding.
For purposes of the QUERY PVUESTIMATE command, nodes on Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows XP Professional, and Apple systems are assumed to be client devices. Nodes on all other platforms are considered to be server devices. The server on which Tivoli Storage Manager is running is also classified as a server device. However, you can reclassify server devices as client devices if required. If your system includes retired workstations, test workstations, or others that can be ignored for purposes of PVU calculation, you can specify them as type other. To change a node classification, use the UPDATE NODE command or the REGISTER NODE command.
Any administrator can issue this command.
