HP OneView 1.05 User Guide

• If the server hardware has an existing permanent iLO Advanced license, the appliance assigns
an HP OneView w/o iLO license, regardless of the license type you choose.
• If the rack mount server does not have an embedded license, the appliance attempts to assign
a license from the license pool.
• If there are not enough licenses available, a notification is displayed that instructs you on how
to address the issue.
• The iLO Advanced license that is part of your HP OneView license is applied to the iLO when
you add a rack mount server.
• To change the license type of a rack mount server that does not have an embedded license,
you must remove the rack mount server from management and then re-add it with the new
license type.
17.5.3 Licensing and utilization statistics
The appliance gathers and reports utilization statistics for server hardware that has an iLO license.
Utilization statistics are not available for server hardware that does not have an iLO license.
17.5.4 Licensing scenarios
The way in which the appliance handles license assignments depends on the following:
• Whether the enclosure or server hardware has an embedded license
• The license type you choose when you add the enclosure or server hardware
• Whether there are available licenses in the appliance license pool (for server hardware without
an embedded license)
The following table describes how the appliance handles licensing for different user actions.

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.
