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

• 100TB-Days (5 days * 20TB) is required for P9000 Performance Advisor to continue monit-
oring the 20TB usable capacity for another five days.
With 160TB-Days, P9000 Performance Advisor ends the grace period and continues to monitor
the 20TB usable capacity for another five days.
Violating licensed capacity
After 60 days of grace period, P9000 Performance Advisor considers it as a capacity violation and
stops configuration data collection for any additional internal raw disk or usable capacity. It continues
the existing performance data collection.
During a capacity violation phase, if you do one of the following:
• Install a Permanent license for P9000 Performance Advisor to monitor the XP disk array.
Install a Permanent license or appropriate TB-Days of Meter based Term license for P9000 Perform-
ance Advisor to monitor the P9000 disk array.
• Reduce the internal raw disk capacity of the XP disk array or the usable capacity of the P9000
disk array to match the Permanent licensed capacity. Then, perform an outband mode of config-
uration data collection.
P9000 Performance Advisor verifies the internal raw disk capacity of the XP disk array or the usable
capacity of the P9000 disk array. If it is less or equal to the licensed capacity, the existing capacity
violation is removed. In addition, the outband configuration collection is allowed and the updated
configuration data is available in P9000 Performance Advisor for that XP or the P9000 disk array.
Removing licenses
This section describes the procedure for removing the Permanent and Meter based Term license.
IMPORTANT:
Only an Administrator or a user with administrator privileges can remove licenses.
Removing Permanent licenses
To remove a Permanent license from the current management station:
1. Click License in the left pane.
The License screen appears.
2. In the View License Status section, select the XP or the P9000 disk array record and click Remove
License.
3. In the Remove License section, select Permanent from the License Type list. You can also choose
the license type All, which is the default selection.
When you select the license type, all the licenses of that license type are removed. If you require
an instance of that license type, select the respective .dat file and install it again. For more
information on adding licenses, see “Installing licenses” on page 37.
