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 informa
tion 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
Continuou
s Access EVA administrator guide.
• Replication licenses are verified during automatic and global refreshes. See
refreshing resources (automatic) and refreshing resources (global)
• Replication license status is displaye d in the GUI. See license status.
Replication license policies
HP license policies determine how the replication manag er interacts with resources that require HP
replication licenses.
The following summarizes the policies.
• Verification.Licenseverification includes factors such as:
• •Typeoflicense
• 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 ac tions. 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 per formed. See tooltips.
For example, if you select a virtual disk and the New Snapclone action is disabled, it can be

• Job commands. Some job commands may not be executed if an applicable HP license is not
verifi ed 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 SnapcloneStora g eVolume command in a job did not execute when the job was
run, it may be because the storage system that contains the d isk did not have a local replication
license.
