HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.3 User and Troubleshooting Guide (T1789-96322, August 2011)

NOTE:
The License screen in P9000 Performance Advisor displays only the internal raw disk capacity of the
XP disk arrays and the usable capacity of the P9000 disk arrays. Though P9000 Performance Advisor
monitors the external storage attached to the XP or the P9000 disk array, it is not included in the
license capacity calculation. This is an expected behavior because P9000 Performance Advisor is
licensed only on internal raw disk and usable capacities.

In this section, view the status of all the Permanent licenses installed on P9000 Performance
Advisor. It displays the aggregate of all valid license capacities for each XP or P9000
disk array monitored by P9000 Performance Advisor.
If a Meter based Term license is installed for a P9000 disk array in addition to the
Permanent license, the status of the installed TB-Days is also displayed (example, 50TB,
100TB-Days).
If a Meter based Term license is removed, the license capacity displayed will be the
capacity of the Permanent licenses installed at that time. For example, assume that the
current license capacity for a P9500 Disk Array shows as 1TB, +2TB-Days. If you remove
the 2TB-Days, the current license capacity shows as 1TB. However, if the 2TB-Days are
completely used, you cannot remove the Meter based Term license.
The Last Updated Time displays the date and time, when P9000 Performance Advisor
last updated the license status for an XP or a P9000 disk array.
Select a license record and click View Details for information pertaining to each installed
license. These details are displayed in the View License Details section.
For a Meter based Term license, the View License Details section also displays the total
TB-Days that are used and the date when used.
