IMPORTANT:

HP recommends that you include validation commands in jobs and perform

validation tests to prevent or minimize the effect of license-related issues at run time.

CLUI commands. CLUI commands that run jobs or create implicit jobs behave like job
commands. An event in the job log indicates that the command did not execute due to a
licensing issue.

Dynamic Capacity Management licenses overview

The DC-Management feature requires an array-based DC-Management license in HP P6000
Replication Solutions Manager.

DC-Management license

HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager includes an instant-on license for the DC-Management
feature. The instant-on license is valid for 60 days from the time of install, after which you may
request an extension to the license. This license enables the DC-Management feature for all arrays
during the validity period.

When the instant-on license expires, the DC-Management feature is disabled unless a permanent
license is installed. Permanent licenses are installed on a per-array basis.

The DC-Management license can be viewed, retrieved, and added by selecting Tools > Configure
> Licensing.

Thin provisioning license overview

The thin provisioning feature requires a separate license.

HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager includes an instant-on license for thin provisioning feature.
The instant-on license is valid for 60 days from the time of install, or until you install a permanent
license.

When the instant-on license expires, thin provisioning is disabled unless a permanent license is
installed. Permanent licenses are installed on a per-array basis.
