NOTE:
The License screen in HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor displays only the internal raw
disk capacity of the XP disk arrays and the usable capacity of the P9500 disk arrays. Though HP
XP P9000 Performance Advisor monitors the external storage attached to the XP or the P9000 disk
array, it is not included in the license capacity calculation. This is an expected behavior because
HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor is licensed only on internal raw disk and usable capacities.
