HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.5 User Guide (T1789-96337, Februrary 2013)

• 90TB-Days to monitor 10TB additional usable capacity for nine days.
• Any usage where the duration (Y days) multiplied by the additional usable capacity (XTB)
equals 90TB-Days.
The following figure illustrates the use of Meter based Term license.
At the time of installing the Meter based Term license, if the usable capacity is within the Permanent
licensed capacity, the installed TB-Days remain dormant till the usable capacity exceeds the
Permanent licensed capacity. They are activated only after the Permanent license is completely
used. The TB-Days are used for the duration when the usable capacity exceeds the installed
Permanent licensed capacity and the exceeded capacity can be managed by the installed TB-Days.
NOTE: After the installed TB-Days are activated, HP XP 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” (page 16).
• 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,
HP XP 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.

Displays N/A.Term (Days)
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.
