HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 48)

Violating licensed capacity
After 60 days of grace period, P9000 Performance Advisor considers it as a capacity violation and
stops configuration data collection for any additional internal raw disk or usable capacity. It continues
the existing performance data collection.
During a capacity violation phase, if you do one of the following:
• Install a Permanent license for P9000 Performance Advisor to monitor the XP disk array.
Install a Permanent license or appropriate TB-Days of Meter based Term license for P9000 Perform-
ance Advisor to monitor the P9000 disk array.
• Reduce the internal raw disk capacity of the XP disk array or the usable capacity of the P9000
disk array to match the Permanent licensed capacity. Then, perform an outband mode of config-
uration data collection.
P9000 Performance Advisor verifies the internal raw disk capacity of the XP disk array or the usable
capacity of the P9000 disk array. If it is less or equal to the licensed capacity, the existing capacity
violation is removed. In addition, the outband configuration collection is allowed and the updated
configuration data is available in P9000 Performance Advisor for that XP or the P9000 disk array.
