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 P9500 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
