About the License
The management server restricts the number elements it manages through its license. It is important
you keep your license up to date with the requirements of your network. The management server has
several different types of license restrictions, as shown in Table 17 on page 179.
Table 17 License Requirements
Type of Restriction Description Unit of Measurement
MAPs The management software restricts the
number of hardware elements it manages
through the use of managed access points
(MAPs) for hardware. A MAP is the sum of
all storage access ports of all hardware
elements that the management server
manages. See Table 18 on page 180 for
more information.

backing up. If you are backing up more
than your license allowed, you are warned
the next time you log onto the management
server.
