HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor v6.0 Software Troubleshooting and FAQs Guide

No. Permitted Volumes displayed in the View License Detail section for a specific XP or P9000
disk array are not the same as the Licensed Capacity. Permitted Volumes refers to the capacity of
a single license key. The aggregate of the permitted volumes is displayed as the actual license
capacity (TB).
For example, consider that there is a permanent license and a term license installed on a given XP
or P9000 disk array. The permitted volumes (TB) installed are 20 TB and 24 TB respectively. In
this case, the actual license capacity (TB) is calculated as 44 TB.
If two term licenses are generated to monitor 36 TB and additional 10 TB for an XP disk array, and
the 10 TB disk capacity is later removed from the XP disk array, will HP XP P9000 Performance
Advisor stop monitoring the 10 TB data even when the term license for 10 TB is still valid?
Yes. HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor stops collecting performance data for the additional 10
TB disk capacity, as it is physically removed from the XP disk array. It continues to collect
performance data for only the current disk capacity, which is 36 TB. However, you can still view
historic data that was maintained when HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor was collecting
performance data for the 10 TB disk capacity.
When does HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor enter the grace period for an XP or P9000 disk
array?
HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor initiates a grace period of 60 days when either of the following
conditions is met:
• During Instant-on period (first time upgrade or installation of HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor
v4.5 or later version):
◦ The Instant-on license period of 120 days is over and a permanent license is not yet
installed for any of the XP or P9000 disk arrays. In this case, HP XP P9000 Performance
Advisor initiates a grace period of 60 days on all the XP and P9000 disk arrays
◦ You have installed a permanent license on HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor for at least
one XP or P9000 disk array during the Instant-on period. In this case, HP XP P9000
Performance Advisor initiates a grace period of 60 days on all the other XP or P9000
disk arrays
• After the Instant-on period is over:
Every time your XP disk array raw disk capacity or the P9000 usable capacity exceeds the
HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor licensed capacity (which is a summation of permanent,
term, and emergency licenses that you may have installed for that array)
If additional raw disk capacity is added to an XP disk array or usable capacity is added to a P9000
disk array during the grace period, will Performance Advisor monitor the additional capacities and
perform new configuration data collections for the XP or P9000 disk array during the grace period?
Yes. During the grace period, you can monitor an XP disk array for unlimited internal raw disk
capacity and a P9000 disk array for unlimited usable capacity. You can also collect configuration
data for the additional internal raw disk and usable capacities. This is possible only until the date
the grace period is valid.
If additional disk capacity is added to an XP disk array after the grace period is over, will
Performance Advisor monitor the additional disk capacity and perform new configuration data
collections?
No. HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor does not monitor any new configuration changes made
for your XP disk arrays after the grace period is over and if required licenses are not yet installed.
However, it continues to collect performance data for the current internal raw disk capacities of
your XP disk arrays.
Is grace period applicable for term and emergency license types?
