HP OneView 1.05 User Guide

When you add an enclosure or rack mount server to the appliance, you must specify one of these
licenses. After a 60-day trial period, the appliance displays an alert if you do not have enough
licenses to support the existing servers. The alert appears on the Dashboard and in the Settings
view after login and does not clear until you add enough licenses.
17.4.2 License delivery
License delivery depends on how the license is purchased. The license delivery methods for HP
OneView are:
• Embedded on the server hardware iLO (software purchased, integrated with the hardware)
• Embedded on the enclosure OA (enclosure bundle license for 16 servers)
• Standalone, nonintegrated (purchased separately from the hardware)
17.4.3 License reporting
Basic license reporting indicates whether the appliance has enough licenses for the managed
server hardware in your environment.
From the Licenses view on the Settings screen, you can view the following:
• The number of available licenses
• The number of licensed servers
• The number of licenses required for compliance (all server hardware licensed)
17.4.4 View license status
You can view the status of your server hardware licenses using the license graphs from the Settings
menu in the Licenses view.
NOTE: You may have to refresh the Licenses screen in order for recent license assignments to
show up in the license graphs.
The license graphs indicate the number of licenses available and required, and the percentage of
server hardware that is in compliance (licensed). A complete blue ring indicates 100% compliance.
The number of available licenses is displayed below the graph. The number of licenses required,
if any, is displayed in red text.
