Exceeding Permanent licensed capacity and grace period
When the usable capacity of a P9500 disk array exceeds the Permanent licensed capacity, P9000
Application Performance Extender switches to the grace period of 60 days for that particular disk
array.
The License Status for such P9500 disk arrays displays Capacity Insufficient in the View License Details
section.
To continue monitoring the usable capacity, you can generate a Permanent license or appropriate
TB-Days of Meter based Term license based on your requirement.
Example scenario 7
Consider the following points:
1. A P9500 disk array has a usable capacity of 50TB.
2. A Permanent license is installed on 11/20/2010 to monitor the 50TB usable capacity.
3. Due to a surge in storage requests, another 25TB usable capacity is added on 11/30/2010 for
a duration of five days.
4. As the additional usable capacity is greater than the Permanent licensed capacity, P9000 Ap-
plication Performance Extender enters 60 days grace period.
Because this is a short term unplanned surge in storage requests, you can install TB-Days of Meter
based Term license to monitor the additional usable capacity for the specified duration. To monitor
25TB for five days (at the rate of 25TB a day), generate and install 125TB-Days on 11/30/2010.
As 125TB-Days are sufficient for five days, P9000 Application Performance Extender ends the grace
period and updates the following fields in the License screen – List of existing licenses section:
• After installation on 11/30/2010:
• License Capacity: 50TB, +125TB-Days
