Figure 5 License dialog box
The following table describes the capacities listed in the License dialog box. Each capacity features
its total amount, the amount used, and the amount available.
Table 2 License capacities
DescriptionProperty
The amount of licensed capacity allotted for basic operations (for example, the maximum
size of all pools). See “VSM license types” (page 15)).
Basic capacity
The amount of licensed capacity allotted for local replication (for example, the size of
all parents). If your license does not allow Business Copy operations, this amount is zero
(see “VSM license types” (page 15)).
BC capacity
The amount of licensed capacity allotted for thin provisioning. If your license does not
allow thin provisioning operations, this amount is zero (see “VSM license types”
(page 15)).
TP capacity
The amount of licensed capacity allotted for remote replication. If your license does not
allow Continuous Access operations, this amount is zero (see “VSM license types”
(page 15)).
CA capacity
The number of DPM ports, four at a time, issued for a DPM group. There are a total of
16 ports per DPM. One dual 4–port LTU turns on 8 ports (4 per DPM).
DPM port number
Zoning
Hosts and storage can be zoned to different DPM “quads” to distribute the load between available
DPM ports. To simplify the validation of the configuration, it is desirable to have the same hosts or
storage zoned to the same quad on each DPM. For example, hosts A and B could be zoned to
quad 1 of both DPMs and hosts C and D zoned to quad 2 of both DPMs. This is called a symmetrical
configuration.
See “Zoning” (page 31) for a detailed description of how to incorporate zoning into your domain.
Adding a new array
The following guidelines must be observed when adding arrays to the domain:
• An array must be attached to both fabrics.
• Back-end zones are created as described in “Zoning” (page 31). Two sets are needed and
are defined as follows:
◦ Array to DPMs
◦ Array to VSM servers
• If adding the array also involves using a new DPM quad, add the new DPM quad to the VSM
server zones and verify that the DPM ports are licensed.
