Aggregate License Status - HPE XP7 User Manual

• License Capacity: 50TB, +722TB-Days
• License Status: Installed
• Term (Days): 7
• End Date: 12/08/2010
Seven days count from 12/02/2010
So, 722TB-Days remain which you can use for a duration of seven days.
A Meter based Term license is not bound to a specific start and end date. The TB-Days of Meter
based Term license are used according to the quantity of physical usable capacity that is monitored and
only the duration (number of days) matter. So, you have the flexibility to use the Meter based Term
license at a stretch for X number of days or for a long duration based on your requirement.
Example scenario 4
Consider the following scenario:
1. An XP7 disk array has a physical usable capacity of 50TB.
2. A Permanent license is installed on 11/15/2010 to monitor the 50TB physical usable capacity.
3. 5TB-Days are installed on 11/27/2010, because you plan to use another 1TB physical usable capacity
every day later for five days.
4. If the physical usable capacity rises beyond the 50TB Permanent licensed capacity on 11/30/2010 and
the additional physical usable capacity equivalent to 1TB-Days is used every day, PA uses the 5TB-
Days completely by 12/04/2010.
If the additional physical usable capacity equivalent to more than 1TB-Days is consumed a day, the
5TB-Days of Meter based Term license is accordingly used. Consider that the physical usable capacity
equivalent to 3TB-Days is monitored on 11/30/2010, followed by 2TB-Days on 12/01/2010. As a result,
the 5TB-Days ends by 12/01/2010.
Example scenario 5
Consider the following scenario:
1. An XP7 disk array has a physical usable capacity of 25TB.
2. A Permanent license is installed on 11/28/2010 to monitor the 25TB physical usable capacity.
3. 12TB-Days are installed on the same day, because you plan to use another 1TB physical usable
capacity every day later for 12 days.
4. If the physical usable capacity rises beyond the 25TB Permanent licensed capacity on 11/30/2010 and
3.5TB is used on the same day, PA considers 4TB-Days.
5. If there has been no activity from 11/30/2010 till 12/28/2010, the remaining 8TB-Days are not used.
6. If 4TB is used on 12/29/2010 followed by another 4TB on 12/30/2010, PA considers 4TB-Days on
each day, and the 8TB-Days are completely used by 12/30/2010.
So, the TB-Days are used only when the additional physical usable capacity must be monitored.
