Table 8 Licensing scenarios
Notes Result License policy or type User action
There is no guarantee that
licenses embedded on an
enclosure will be applied to the
server hardware in the
enclosure; they might be
applied to other server
hardware managed by the
appliance. Embedded OA licenses are added to
the appliance pool and applied to
server hardware that is not licensed. The embedded license
takes precedent over the
enclosure license policy
you select. Add enclosure with
embedded HP
OneView
or HP
OneView w/o
iLO license.
Embedded licenses are assigned to
the server hardware on which they
reside. Embedded licenses are
applied to the server
hardware regardless of
the license type you
select. Add server
hardware with
embedded HP
OneView
or HP
OneView w/o
iLO license.
HP OneView w/o iLO Licenses
available in the pool
The appliance assigns a license to the
server hardware.
No HP OneView w/o iLO licenses
available in the pool

there are not enough licenses to satisfy
the policy.
The server hardware will
be assigned an HP
OneView w/o iLO
license regardless of the
license policy or type. Add server
hardware with an
existing, permanent
iLO Advanced
license.
After the 60-day trial period,
a message notifies you when
there are not enough licenses
for the number of managed
server hardware. Licenses available in the pool
The appliance assigns a license to the
server hardware.
No licenses available in the pool
The appliance issues a warning that
there are not enough licenses to satisfy
the policy.
Any Add enclosure or
server hardware
with no embedded
license.
If the server hardware is
re-added, it will be assigned
the same license.
Removing server hardware
with licenses assigned to them
can cause the number of
licensed servers shown in the
licensing graphs to be greater
than the number of servers
currently being managed
because the licenses are still
being counted as assigned to
server hardware.
The license remains assigned to the
server hardware. HP OneView
(applied to server
hardware).
Remove server
hardware.
The license is unassigned from the
server hardware. HP OneView w/o iLO
or HP OneView (license
not yet applied to
server). Remove server
hardware.
