HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 User Guide for Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition SRM Software (July 2008)

Managing Licenses170
Example 1:
Assume you have the following environment:
• Brocade (two switches of 12 ports each, one switch of 16 ports) — Total 40 ports
• McDATA (one switch of 64 ports) — Total 64 ports
• Windows 2000 and Solaris Hosts (10 hosts with two Fibre Channel connection each) — Total
20 ports
• EMC Subsystem (one subsystem with 16 Fibre Channel ports) — Total 16 ports
The software calculates 140 MAPs in this environment.
Example 2:
Assume you have the same configuration above, and you add several devices to your network that
the management server does not support. There are still 140 MAPs in this environment, since the
management server does not count the ports from devices it does not support.
Example 3:
Storage systems The MAPs are the sum of all front-facing ports. Storage systems with
FA ports the software does not support, such as mainframe attached
FICON, are still counted as MAPs. However, the management server
does not count MAPs from storage systems it does not support. See
the release notes for information about supported storage systems.
