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

NOTE:
After the installed TB-Days are activated, P9000 Performance Advisor verifies the remaining TB-Days
every day after 1:00 PM and accordingly updates the TB-Days status on the License screen - License
Status section. For more information on the License screen, see “License screen” on page 22.
• If the installed TB-Days are used in the first half of a day, the TB-Days status is updated after 1:00
PM on the same day.
• If the installed TB-Days are used in the second half of a day, the TB-Days status is updated after
1:00 PM on the next day.
For example, a Permanent license is installed on 11/30/2010 to monitor 50TB usable capacity. In
addition, 90TB-Days are also installed on the same day to monitor 10TB additional usable capacity
later for nine days. As the usable capacity is still within the Permanent licensed capacity, P9000
Performance Advisor does not use the 90TB-Days. The following table lists the fields that are updated
on the License screen - License Status section when the 90TB-Days are installed for a P9000 disk array
record.
Description
Column Headings - License
Status section
Displays Permanent licensed capacity plus the installed TB-Days.
Example, 50TB, +90TB-Days
License Capacity
Displays N/A.
Term (Days) indicates the total number of days when the installed 90TB-Days
can be used. In this case, as the usable capacity is within the Permanent
licensed capacity limit, the 90TB-Days are dormant and the Term (Days)
are not shown.
Term (Days)
Displays the status as Installed.
License Status
Displays Never.
This is because, the Permanent license which is for an unlimited duration
is currently active.
End Date
Consider that the usable capacity exceeds the 50TB Permanent licensed capacity by 10TB in the first
half of 12/03/2010. As a result, the 90TB-Days are activated and P9000 Performance Advisor uses
10TB-Days, and updates the following fields after 1:00 PM on the same day.
On 12/03/2010:
Description
Column Headings - License
Status section
Displays 50TB, +80TB-Days
This is because, 10TB-Days are used on 12/03/2010 to monitor the
additional 10TB usable capacity on that day. It also indicates that
+80TB-Days remain that can be used.
License Capacity
Displays 8.
Eight days is the remaining duration when the +80TB-Days can be used.
