The two nodes include a base license to configure up to 25 LUNs—ten LUNs per gateway node plus five
2 TB upgrade licenses—which gives the gateway up to 50 TB capacity.
Up to six nodes can be added to a VLS300 for a total of eight nodes in a single gateway. Each
additional node adds licenses for up to ten more LUNs and increases maximum external capacity by up
to 20 TB. Capacity can also be increased by purchasing capacity bundles, each of which adds licensing
for one additional external array LUN and increases maximum external capacity by up to 2 TB.
NOTE:
Maximum capacity for each LUN on the VLS300 is 2 TB.
Adding nodes and licenses increases the VLS300 storage capacity as shown in
also increases the performance. See the HP StorageWorks VLS300 Virtual Library System Quickspec on
the HP web site (http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/6000vls) for performance data.
