HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager User Guide (T3680-96089, October 2012)

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.
