HP StorageWorks P9000 Application Performance Extender Software User Guide (5697-0984, September 2012)

1. A P9500 disk array has a usable capacity of 50TB.
2. A Permanent license is installed on 11/15/2010 to monitor the 50TB usable capacity.
3. 5TB-Days are installed on 11/27/2010, because you plan to use another 1TB usable capacity
every day later for five days.
4. If the usable capacity rises beyond the 50TB Permanent licensed capacity on 11/30/2010 and
the additional usable capacity equivalent to 1TB-Days is used every day, P9000 uses the 5TB-
Days completely by 12/04/2010.
If the additional usable capacity equivalent to more than 1TB-Days is consumed a day, the 5TB-
Days of Meter based Term license is accordingly used. Consider that the usable capacity equi-
valent to 3TB-Days is monitored on 11/30/2010, followed by 2TB-Days on 12/01/2010. As
a result, the 5TB-Days ends by 12/01/2010.
Example scenario 5
Consider the following scenario:
1. A P9500 disk array has a usable capacity of 25TB.
2. A Permanent license is installed on 11/28/2010 to monitor the 25TB usable capacity.
3. 12TB-Days are installed on the same day, because you plan to use another 1TB usable capacity
every day later for 12 days.
4. If the usable capacity rises beyond the 25TB Permanent licensed capacity on 11/30/2010 and
3.5TB is used on the same day, P9000 Application Performance Extender considers 4TB-Days.
5. If there has been no activity from 11/30/2010 till 12/28/2010, the remaining 8TB-Days are
not used.
6. If 4TB is used on 12/29/2010 followed by another 4TB on 12/30/2010, P9000 considers
4TB-Days on each day, and the 8TB-Days are completely used by 12/30/2010.
So, the TB-Days are used only when the additional usable capacity must be monitored.
Generating licenses at the HPAC license key website
You can generate a permanent license for P9000 Application Performance Extender at the HPAC
license key website. Ensure that you have the registration number for P9000 Application Performance
Extender, which is required for generating a license.
IMPORTANT:
• P9000 Application Performance Extender entitlement certificate is generic. The registration number
included in the entitlement certificate can be used to generate a permanent license for any P9500
disk array serial number. After the registration number is used for a P9500 disk array serial
number, it cannot be further associated with another P9500 disk array serial number.
• You can generate permanent licenses for the unmonitored P9500 disk arrays and install them on
P9000 Application Performance Extender. However, the license details for those unmonitored
arrays appear in the List of existing licences section of the License screen, only after you collect
their configuration data.
To generate a permanent license:
1. Access the HPAC license key website, http://webkey.external.hp.com from your web browser.
The Hewlett-Packard Authorization Center license key web page appears.
2. Click Generate a License Key in the Main Menu section
The Generate License Key screen appears.
