HP XP Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 23)

After
installing a Permanent license, if you increase the internal raw disk capacity or the usable
capacity
beyond the Permanent licensed capacity, the existing Permanent license cannot be used.
HP
XP7 Performance Advisor considers it as a license capacity violation and initiates a grace
period
of 60 days for that XP or XP7 disk array. To end the grace period:
•
For an XP disk array, generate and install additional Permanent license for the internal raw
disk capacity that you want HP XP7 Performance Advisor to monitor.
•
For an XP7 disk array, you can generate and install one of the following based on your
requirement:
◦ A Permanent license.
◦ A Meter based Term license, which is a secondary license that works only if a Permanent
license is already installed.
IMPORTANT:
•
It is mandatory that you have the HP XP7 Performance Advisor registration number to generate
a Permanent frame license. This registration number is included in the product entitlement
certificate that is provided with every HP XP7 Performance Advisor License To USE (LTU)
purchased. For more information on generating licenses, see
“Generating licenses at the HPAC
license key website” (page 30) .
If you have not received the product entitlement certificate, provide the required details in the
HP XP7 Performance Advisor License Entitlement Request
text file available
in the C:\%HPSS_HOME%\data\keys folder. Send an email to HP at
[email protected] with the completed document as a file attachment. The HP
XP7 Performance Advisor License Entitlement Request text file is available
after you install or upgrade to HP XP7 Performance Advisor.
•
The internal raw disk capacity of 64 TB and greater for an XP disk array is considered as an
unlimited frame license (unlimited internal raw disk capacity) by HP XP7 Performance Advisor.
It implies that additional licenses need not be generated for HP XP7 Performance Advisor to
monitor disk capacities at 64 TB and beyond. This is applicable only for the XP disk arrays.
Frame license is now applicable for the P9500 and XP7 disk arrays. Therefore, if you purchase
a frame license of 65535TB, you get an unlimited license capacity. You need not purchase
additional licenses if the usable capacity of the array increases, P9500 Performance Advisor
will continue monitoring those arrays.
Meter Based Term licenses
NOTE: Meter based Term licenses are applicable for P9500 and XP7 disk arrays only.
Meter based Term licenses are secondary licenses that you generate at the HPAC website and
install as add-on licenses in HP XP7 Performance Advisor to monitor additional usable capacities.
Meter based Term licenses cannot work independently and always need to be installed on a
Permanent license. They are not a replacement to the Permanent license.
A Meter based Term license is generated in TB-Days for the usable capacity that you want to
monitor and the duration for which you want to monitor. To calculate the total TB-Days of Meter
based Term license that you require, use the following formula:
Usable capacity * Duration (number of days)= TB-Days Meter based Term
license
