IMPORTANT: The management server Current Usage Summary is first updated six hours after the
management server (AppStorManager) starts, and then the updates occur every 24 hours thereafter.
Elements the management server has discovered before the update are not reflected in the Current
Usage Summary table. The time for the update is determined when the management server is first
started. For example, the first update of the Current Usage Summary table occurs six hours after the
management server is first started. The following updates occur every 24 hours. If the management
server is started for the first time at noon, the first update of the Current Usage Summary table would
occur at 6 p.m. All following updates would always occur at 6 p.m.
MAPs are determined as described in Table 15 on page 169.
For File System
Viewer
The management server determines
licensing for File System Viewer through
terabytes (TB). When you purchased File
System Viewer, you were given a number of
TB you were allowed by the management
server to monitor.
The management server detects the number
of TB that are being monitored on file
servers and verifies that number is at or
below the purchased amount.
You do not have to monitor everything
associated with your file server. You can
choose to manage only the mount points
that are important to you. Only the files
associated with these mount points are
counted toward the file server TB.

Element Managed Access Point
Hosts The managed access points (MAPs) are the number of Fibre Channel
ports with a minimum of one MAP. If a host has no Fibre Channel
ports, the software assumes one MAP. The software does count direct
attached storage, provided it is supported by the management server.
Switches All ports on a switch are counted as MAPs.
