HP 9000 Virtual Library System - Manual (Page 48)

Adding New Arrays to the Storage Pool
If you add a new array or disk array enclosure and run the Discover Unconfigured Storage task
(see
“Adding VLS Capacity” (page 45) ) but cancel the process without adding the LUN capacity,
you can resume the process later.
1.
Select the System tab.
2. Select Storage Pools in the navigation tree.
3. On the Storage Pools screen, select Run Pool Policy from the task bar. (The task is only available
if you previously used the Discover Unconfigured Storage task, or if you added storage and
then rebooted the entire VLS system.)
The VLS locates the new array or disk array enclosure and the screen displays the LUN capacity
that will be added to the storage pools, based on the storage pool policy, as a result of the
new storage.
4. Click Accept to continue. The VLS adds the new storage to the storage pools.
5. Click Return to return to the Storage Pools screen.
Installing Additional Licenses
Your VLS system may require any of the following licenses:
•
Capacity:
A VLS capacity license must be installed on the VLS when you add additional disk array
enclosures. Each enclosure, whether a base or capacity enclosure, comes with its own capacity
license. (This is new for the VLS9200. Previously, the node and the capacity bundle each
came with a base license that covered an array.)
If you are in a license violation state, all VLS read/write operations are disabled until either
sufficient licenses are installed to support the storage, or the excess storage is removed. When
you have cleared a license violation by installing an upgrade capacity license, the VLS
read/write operations are automatically enabled without requiring a reboot.
The base license on the node enables the storage that is part of the base SKU. The capacity
bundle includes the capacity license and the registration materials necessary for installing
capacity licenses.
NOTE: Do not discard the registration materials included in the capacity bundle.
•
Deduplication:
A VLS deduplication license must be installed on the VLS before you can use the deduplication
feature. The number of deduplication licenses must match or exceed the number of capacity
licenses installed. After you install the deduplication licenses, the VLS system automatically
enables the deduplication feature for all supported backup types.
•
Replication:
A VLS replication license must be installed on the VLS before you can use deduplication-enabled
replication. Without the license, you may replicate whole backups across the LAN/WAN.
However, you need the replication license to replicate backups that have been deduplicated.
Deduplication-enabled replication requires one license per node on the target site.
