Viewing license history
The View License History section displays the list of events generated on the View License screen for
each license key. The time stamp when an event occurred is also displayed for each event record.
You can search for events generated during a specific duration. Provide the start and end date and
time, and click Find to view the events generated during the selected duration.
Exceeding Permanent licensed capacity and grace period
When the internal raw disk capacity of an XP disk array or the usable capacity of a P9000 disk array
exceeds the Permanent licensed capacity, P9000 Performance Advisor switches to the grace period
of 60 days for that particular disk array.
The License Status for such XP or P9000 disk arrays displays Capacity Insufficient in the View License
Status section. The following informational message appears under Comments:
Array capacity exceeds licensed Capacity which was detected on month,
day, year. Grace Period expires on month, day, year. Please purchase the
required Performance Advisor licenses now to continue using Performance
Advisor on this Array.
where:
month, day, year is the date till when the grace period is valid.
To continue monitoring the internal raw disk capacity, purchase the required P9000 Performance
Advisor LTUs and generate a Permanent license before the grace period expires.
Similarly, to continue monitoring the usable capacity, you can generate a Permanent license or
appropriate TB-Days of Meter based Term license based on your requirement. P9000 Performance
Advisor verifies the P9000 disk array usable capacity whenever you perform an inband or an outband
mode of configuration data collection.
Example scenario 7
Consider the following points:
1. A P9000 disk array has a usable capacity of 50TB.
2. A Permanent license is installed on 11/20/2010 to monitor the 50TB usable capacity.
3. Due to a surge in storage requests, another 25TB usable capacity is added on 11/30/2010 for
a duration of five days.
4. As the additional usable capacity is greater than the Permanent licensed capacity, P9000 Per-
formance Advisor enters 60 days grace period.
