Licenses to use and license keys

License types

The following types of licenses to use (LTUs) are available for HP P6000/EVA storage systems:

•HP P6000 Command View LTUs. These LTUs are required to manage a given storage system with HP P6000 Command View.

Each HP P6000 storage system must be licensed with the appropriate HP P6000 Command View LTUs to be in compliance with the End User License Agreement.

•HP MPX200 LTUs. These LTUs provide the ability to interconnect SANs via a LAN/WAN, connect an FC device to a SAN over a LAN/WAN, or migrate the data between source and destination arrays. The LTUs are installed on the MPX200 controller.

•HP P6000 Business Copy LTUs. These LTUs enable the use of optional local replication features, such as snapshot, snapclone, and mirrorclone.

•HP P6000 Continuous Access LTUs. These LTUs enable the use of optional remote replication features.

•HP P6000 Performance Advisor LTU. These LTUs allow you to monitor and analyze performance of P6000 storage systems.

•Thin provisioning LTU. This LTU enables the thin provisioning feature.

•DC-Management LTU. This LTU enables the P6000 Dynamic Capacity Management feature.

NOTE: For the P6300/P6500 EVAs, the license keys for HP P6000 Dynamic Capacity Management and thin provisioning are included with the HP P6000 Command View License Entitlement.

Instant-on licenses

You can use the factory-installed instant-on license key to immediately start using the features with the exception of P6000 Dynamic Capacity Management and thin provisioning. The instant-on key is valid for all arrays managed by an HP P6000 Command View server and enables HP P6000 Command View, HP P6000 Business Copy, and HP P6000 Continuous Access with unlimited capacity for 60 days from the first use. Upon expiration of the instant-on license key, these features will be disabled. Your data is preserved and you can continue to use the array but cannot create new resources. To continue using the features, you must obtain a permanent license key.

Permanent licenses

•Licenses are available in various capacities to support the maximum capacity of the array. Model-upgrade licenses are also available.

•You can enter a license key before or after initializing the array. When a license key is installed, the license immediately takes effect.

•HP P6000 Command View, HP P6000 Business Copy, HP P6000 Performance Advisor, and HP P6000 Continuous Access LTUs are locked to an array and are not transferable.

•HP thin provisioning LTUs are model-locked.

When you install a permanent license, the temporary instant-on license no longer appears in the license list.
