Storage system concepts

Replication licenses overview

To use local and remote replication features on a given array, the replication manager verifies that
appropriate HP replication licenses exist for that array.
• For information on acquiring and installing local replication licenses, see the HP StorageWorks
Business Copy EVA administrator guide.
• For information on acquiring and installing remote replication licenses, see the HP StorageWorks
Continuous Access EVA administrator guide.
• Replication licenses are verified during automatic and global refreshes. See
refreshing resources (automatic)
• Replication license status is displayed in the GUI. See

Replication license policies

HP license policies determine how the replication manager interacts with resources that require HP
replication licenses.
The following summarizes the policies.
• Verification. License verification includes factors such as:
• • Type of license
• Expiration date (if any)
• Capacity range (amount of storage)
• Multi-array volumes. If a volume is comprised of virtual disks on two or more arrays, each array
must have an HP replication license in order in order to be considered fully licensed.
• GUI actions. Some GUI actions may be disabled if an applicable HP license is not verified.
Disabled actions appear in gray and cannot be selected. A tooltip indicates why the action
cannot be performed. See tooltips.
For example, if you select a virtual disk and the New Snapclone action is disabled, it can be
because the storage system that contains the disk does not have a local replication license.
• Job commands. Some job commands may not be executed if an applicable HP license is not
verified when a job is run. An event in the job log indicates the command did not execute due
to a licensing issue.
For example, if a SnapcloneStorageVolume command in a job did not execute when the job was
run, it may be because the storage system that contains the disk did not have a local replication
license.
