Grace period expiration

The grace period that follows the instant-on license is valid for 60 days. After the grace period expires

and if valid licenses are not installed, the following changes occur:

• P9000 Performance Advisor cannot monitor the XP or the P9000 disk arrays for any new config-

uration changes made after the grace period is over. However, it continues to collect performance

data for the current internal raw disk capacities of the monitored XP disk arrays or usable capacities

of the monitored P9000 disk arrays.

• Configured alarms, notifications, reports, charts, and all other functions continue to work. However,

the generated report contains a warning message for license expiry at the beginning of the report.

WARNING: License violation was detected for this array. This report

may not capture performance data about the recent configuration changes

made in the <XP or P9000 disk array>. Please purchase the required

Performance Advisor licenses immediately.

Comments

For P9000 Performance Advisor to continue configuration collection for additional internal raw disk

capacities on the monitored XP disk arrays or usable capacities on the monitored P9000 disk arrays,

install Permanent licenses on P9000 Performance Advisor for each of the XP or the P9000 disk arrays.

Contact your HP representative to procure the additional licenses.
