Generating licenses – HP XP Performance Advisor Software User Manual

Example scenario 5
Consider the following scenario:
1.
A P9000 disk array has a usable capacity of 25TB.
2.
A Permanent license is installed on 11/28/2010 to monitor the 25TB usable capacity.
3.
12TB-Days are installed on the same day, because you plan to use another 1TB usable capacity
every day later for 12 days.
4.
If the usable capacity rises beyond the 25TB Permanent licensed capacity on 11/30/2010
and 3.5TB is used on the same day, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor considers 4TB-Days.
5.
If there has been no activity from 11/30/2010 till 12/28/2010, the remaining 8TB-Days
are not used.
6.
If 4TB is used on 12/29/2010 followed by another 4TB on 12/30/2010, HP XP P9000
Performance Advisor considers 4TB-Days on each day, and the 8TB-Days are completely used
by 12/30/2010.
So, the TB-Days are used only when the additional usable capacity must be monitored.

Generating licenses
IMPORTANT:
•
The product license entitlement certificate includes a registration number, which is a unique
identifier that helps you to generate a license key for HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor. The
registration number is unique to the XP disk array or the P9000 disk array for which it is used
and cannot be associated with another XP or P9000 disk array serial number. The following
sets of product entitlement certificates are available:
◦
XP entitlement certificates: The registration numbers can be used on XP disk arrays only,
such as the XP24000, XP20000, XP12000, XP10000, XP1024, and the XP128.
◦
P9000 entitlement certificates: The registration numbers can be used on P9000 disk
arrays only.
Based on the license entitlement certificate that you receive, generate and install a Permanent
license for the internal raw disk capacity or the usable capacity that you want HP XP P9000
Performance Advisor to monitor.
•
You can generate Permanent licenses for the unmonitored XP or P9000 disk arrays and install
them on HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor. However, the license details for those unmonitored
arrays appear in the View License Status section of the License screen, only after you collect
their configuration data.
To generate a Permanent license:
1.
Access the HPAC license key website,
from your web browser.
The Hewlett-Packard Authorization Center license key web page appears.
2.
Click Generate a License Key in the Main Menu section.
The Generate License Key screen appears.
3.
Enter the registration number in the Registration Number or Product Authorization Key box.
Ensure that the registration number is same as that mentioned in the product entitlement
certificate.
