License states
General
•
Expiring. All discovered licenses are currently valid. However, one or more expires within 60
days.
•
Over capacity. One or more resources has exceeded a license's capacity.
Replication licenses overview
To use local and remote replication features on a given array, the replication manager verifies
that appropriate HP replication licenses exist for that array.
•
For information on acquiring and installing local replication licenses, see the HP P6000
Replication Solutions Manager Administrator Guide.
•
For information on acquiring and installing remote replication licenses, see the HP P6000
Continuous Access Implementation Guide.
•
Replication licenses are verified during automatic and global refreshes. See
and
Refreshing resources (global).
•
Replication license status is displayed in the GUI. See
.
Replication license policies
HP license policies determine how the replication manager interacts with resources that require
HP replication licenses.
The following list summarizes the policies:
•
Verification. License verification includes factors such as:
Type of license
◦
◦
Expiration date (if any)
◦
Capacity range (amount of storage)
•
Multi-array volumes. If a volume is comprised of virtual disks on two or more arrays, each
array must have an HP replication license in order in order to be considered fully licensed.
•
GUI actions. Some GUI actions may be disabled if an applicable HP license is not verified.
Disabled actions appear in gray and cannot be selected. A tooltip indicates why the action
cannot be performed. See
For example, if you select a virtual disk and the New Snapclone action is disabled, it can be
because the storage system that contains the disk does not have a local replication license.
•
Job commands. Some job commands may not execute if an applicable HP license is not
verified when a job is run. An event in the job log indicates the command did not execute
due to a licensing issue.
For example, if a SnapcloneStorageVolume command in a job did not execute when the job
was run, it may be because the storage system that contains the disk did not have a local replication
license.
