7. The reduction in TB-Days continues till you install the appropriate TB-Days of Meter based Term
license, so that PA does the following:
• Shows positive TB-Days
• Ends the grace period for the particular XP7 disk array
8. So, if you want to install TB-Days on 12/05/2010 for a duration of five days, generate 160TB-Days of
Meter based Term license. Out of the 160TB-Days:
• 60TB-Days (3 days * 20TB) are used to nullify the reduction in installed TB-Days.
• 100TB-Days (5 days * 20TB) is required for PA to continue monitoring the 20TB physical usable
capacity for another five days.
With 160TB-Days, PA ends the grace period and continues to monitor the 20TB physical usable
capacity for another five days.

collection for any additional internal raw disk or physical usable capacity. It continues the existing
performance data collection.
During a capacity violation phase, if you do one of the following:
• Install a Permanent license for PA to monitor the XP disk array.
Install a Permanent license or appropriate TB-Days of Meter based Term license for PA to monitor the
XP7 disk array.
• Reduce the internal raw disk capacity of the XP disk array or the physical usable capacity of the XP7
disk array to match the Permanent licensed capacity. Then, perform configuration data collection.
PA verifies the internal raw disk capacity of the XP disk array or the physical usable capacity of the
XP7 disk array. If it is less or equal to the licensed capacity, the existing capacity violation is removed.
