The License Capacity continues to display every day reduction in TB-Days till 02/08/2011 (60th
day). The remaining fields listed in the above table remain the same.
• On 12/12/2010, the License Capacity shows 50TB, –10TB-Days
• On 12/13/2010, the License Capacity shows 50TB, –20TB-Days
• On 02/08/2011, the License Capacity shows 50TB, –590TB-Days
NOTE: If 90TB-Days are completely used in the second half of 12/11/2010, HP XP P9000
Performance Advisor enters 60 days grace period on the same day but updates the License screen
- License Status section only after 1:00 PM on 12/12/2010. In this case, the License Capacity
shows 50TB, –10TB-Days on 12/12/2010.
For information on calculating the appropriate TB-Days to end the grace period and also read
additional scenarios, see “Exceeding Meter based Term licensed capacity and grace period”
(page 37).
A Meter based Term license least count is 1TB-Days. By default, fractions of a TB of usable capacity
is considered as 1TB and fractions of a day is considered as one day.

Consider the following scenario:
1. A P9000 disk array has a usable capacity of 50TB.

3. Another 100TB usable capacity is added on 11/30/2010 and must be monitored for 10
days.

Advisor enters 60 days grace period on 11/30/2010.
