At the time of installing the Meter based Term license, if the usable capacity is within the Permanent
licensed capacity, the installed TB-Days remain dormant till the usable capacity exceeds the
Permanent licensed capacity. They are activated only after the Permanent license is completely
used. The TB-Days are used for the duration when the usable capacity exceeds the installed
Permanent licensed capacity and the exceeded capacity can be managed by the installed TB-Days.
NOTE:
After the installed TB-Days are activated, HP XP7 Performance Advisor verifies the remaining
TB-Days every day after 1:00 PM and accordingly updates the TB-Days status on the License screen
- License Status section. For more information on the License screen, see
•
If the installed TB-Days are used in the first half of a day, the TB-Days status is updated after
1:00 PM on the same day.
•
If the installed TB-Days are used in the second half of a day, the TB-Days status is updated
after 1:00 PM on the next day.
For example, a Permanent license is installed on 11/30/2010 to monitor 50TB usable capacity.
In addition, 90TB-Days are also installed on the same day to monitor 10TB additional usable
capacity later for nine days. As the usable capacity is still within the Permanent licensed capacity,
HP XP7 Performance Advisor does not use the 90TB-Days. The following table lists the fields that
are updated on the License screen - License Status section when the 90TB-Days are installed for
an XP7 disk array record.
