Meter based term licenses – HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software User Manual

IMPORTANT:
•
It is mandatory that you have the P9000 Performance Advisor registration number to generate a
Permanent frame license. This registration number is included in the product entitlement certificate
that is provided with every P9000 Performance Advisor License To USE (LTU) purchased. For more
information on generating licenses, see “
Generating licenses at the HPAC license key web-
If you have not received the product entitlement certificate, provide the required details in the
P9000 Performance Advisor License Entitlement Request
text file available in
the C:\HPSS\data\keys folder. Send an email to HP at
with
the completed document as a file attachment. The P9000 Performance Advisor License
Entitlement Request
text file is available after you install or upgrade to P9000 Performance
Advisor.
•
The internal raw disk capacity of 64 TB and greater for an XP disk array is considered as an un-
limited frame license (unlimited internal raw disk capacity) by P9000 Performance Advisor. It
implies that additional licenses need not be generated for P9000 Performance Advisor to monitor
disk capacities at 64 TB and beyond. This is applicable only for the XP disk arrays.
Frame license is now applicable for the P9500 disk arrays. Therefore, if you purchase a frame
license of 65535TB, you get an unlimited license capacity. You need not purchase additional li-
censes if the usable capacity of the array increases, P9500 Performance Advisor will continue
monitoring those arrays.
Meter Based Term licenses
NOTE:
Meter based Term licenses are applicable for P9000 disk arrays only.
Meter based Term licenses are secondary licenses that you generate at the HPAC website and install
as add-on licenses in P9000 Performance Advisor to monitor additional usable capacities. Meter
based Term licenses cannot work independently and always need to be installed on a Permanent
license. They are not a replacement to the Permanent license.
A Meter based Term license is generated in TB-Days for the usable capacity that you want to monitor
and the duration for which you want to monitor. To calculate the total TB-Days of Meter based Term
license that you require, use the following formula:
Usable capacity * Duration (number of days)= TB-Days Meter based Term
license
IMPORTANT:
•
Additional usable capacity refers to the usable capacity that is beyond the Permanent licensed
capacity.
•
A Meter based Term license cannot be installed on multiple management stations.
•
Multiple Meter based Term licenses can be generated and installed on a management station. In
such cases, the licenses are used successively.
