HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.2 Install Guide (T1789-96317, May 2011)

9. Add the Permanent license to P9000 Performance Advisor:
a. Log on to P9000 Performance Advisor. For more information, see “Launching P9000
Performance Advisor” on page 64.
b. In the P9000 Performance Advisor Home screen, click License in the left pane.
The License screen appears.
c. Click Browse in the Add New License File section.
d. Navigate to the folder where the license (.dat) file is stored.
e. Select the license that you want to add and click Open.
The license file appears in the File Name box.
f. Click Add License.
The View License File Status section displays the details of the license that you added. These
details are specific to the XP or the P9000 disk array serial number for which you generated the
Permanent license.
NOTE:
The above mentioned license details are displayed for only those XP and P9000 disk arrays,
for which at least one round of configuration data collection is complete (monitored disk
arrays). So, after you install or upgrade P9000 Performance Advisor, and before adding
the first license key for a new XP or P9000 disk array, ensure that you perform at least one
round of configuration data collection for that disk array. Otherwise, the View License Details
screen does not display license details corresponding to that disk array.
After installing the Permanent license for an XP disk array, if you want P9000 Performance Advisor
to monitor internal raw disk capacity beyond the Permanent licensed capacity, generate another
Permanent license at the HPAC website.
Similarly, after installing the Permanent license for a P9000 disk array, if you want P9000 Performance
Advisor to monitor usable capacity beyond the Permanent licensed capacity, you can generate another
Permanent license or a Meter based Term license at the HPAC website.
Meter based Term license
A Meter based Term license is a secondary license that is generated in TB-Days for the usable capacity
(YTB) that you want to monitor and the duration (X days) for which you want to monitor. Use the
following formula to calculate the TB-Days of Meter based Term license that you need:
Usable capacity (XTB) * Duration (Y days) = ZTB-Days Meter based Term
license
Where, Z indicates the total TB-Days of Meter based Term license that you require to monitor XTB of
usable capacity for Y days.
IMPORTANT:
A Meter based Term license must always be installed on a Permanent license. Ensure that at least 1TB
Permanent license is already installed for a P9000 disk array in P9000 Performance Advisor before
you add the TB-Days of Meter based Term license.
