NOTE:

The License screen in HP XP7 Performance Advisor displays only the internal raw disk

capacity of the XP disk arrays and the usable capacity of the P9500 disk arrays. Though HP XP7
Performance Advisor monitors the external storage attached to the XP/XP7 disk array, it is not
included in the license capacity calculation. This is an expected behavior because HP XP7
Performance Advisor is licensed only on internal raw disk and usable capacities.
