HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.4 Troubleshooting and FAQs Guide (T1789-96336, April 2012)

4 Frequently Asked Questions
P9000 Performance Advisor Licensing
Where do I find the P9000 Performance Advisor registration number for gener-
ating a permanent license?
The P9000 Performance Advisor registration number is included on the product entitlement certificate
that is provided with every P9000 Performance Advisor License To USE (LTU) you purchase.
How do I generate the permanent license?
You can generate the permanent license at the Hewlett-Packard Authorization Center (HPAC) license
key website, using the following URL: webkey.external.hp.com
For P9000 Performance Advisor to continue configuration collection for additional internal raw disk
capacities on your XP disk arrays or usable capacities on your P9000 disk arrays, you should install
permanent licenses on P9000 Performance Advisor for each of the XP and P9000 disk arrays.
Can I generate the Instant-on license at the HPAC license key website?
No. You cannot generate the Instant-on license at the HPAC license key website. It is only available
along with the P9000 Performance Advisor media and automatically activated when you install P9000
Performance Advisor (v4.5 onwards).
If I add 20 TB to the existing 64 TB internal raw disk capacity on my XP disk
array, should I procure additional license for P9000 Performance Advisor to
monitor the newly added 20 TB internal raw disk capacity?
Monitoring internal raw disk capacity of 64 TB and greater is considered as unlimited frame license
by P9000 Performance Advisor. Therefore, you need not generate a separate license for P9000
Performance Advisor to monitor any newly added internal raw disk capacity.
Are the array type and serial number sufficient to generate a license for an XP
or a P9000 disk array?
Yes. These are a few mandatory inputs for generating a license. In addition, you should also provide
the internal raw disk capacity for an XP disk array or the usable capacity for a P9000 disk array that
you want to be monitored, and the expiry date for the license (based on the type of license that you
select).
