valent to 3TB-Days is monitored on 11/30/2010, followed by 2TB-Days on 12/01/2010. As
a result, the 5TB-Days ends by 12/01/2010.
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, 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, 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.

Ensure that you have the registration number which is required for generating a license.
Generating licenses
IMPORTANT:
•
The product license entitlement certificate includes a registration number, which is a unique iden-
tifier that helps you to generate a license key for 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 enti-
tlement 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 P9000 Performance Advisor
to monitor.
•
You can generate Permanent licenses for the unmonitored XP or P9000 disk arrays and install
them on 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 config-
uration 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.
