• Expiration date (if any)
•Capacityrange(amountofstorage)
• Multi-array resources. If an O racle resource such as a database or tablespace is comprised of
virtual dis ks on t wo or more arrays, each array must have an HP Oracle-integration license.
• 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 an O racle database and the Replicate Database (Snapclone) action is disabled,
it can be be cause the storage system that contains the database does not have a n appropriate license.
• Job commands. Some job commands may not be executed if an applicable HP l icense is not
verified when a job is run. An event in the job log indicates the command d id not execute due
to a licensing issue.
For example, if a CreateHostVolumesUsingRepository command in a job did not execute when the
job was run, it may be because a storage system on which the database is located did not have an
HP Oracle-integration license.
IMPORTANT:
HP recommends that you include validation commands in jobs and perform validation tests to prevent or
minimize the effect of license-related issues at run time.
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 loc a l 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 verifi ed during automatic and global refreshes. See
refreshing resources (automatic) and refreshing resources (global).
• Replication license status is displayed in the GUI. See license status.
Replication license policies
HP license policies determine how the replication manager interacts with resources tha t require HP
replication licenses.
The following summarizes the policies.
• Verification.Licenseverification includes factors such as:
•Typeoflicense
• Expiration date (if any)
•Capacityrange(amountofstorage)
• M ulti-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 l icense is not
verified when a job is run. An event in the job log indicates the command d id not execute due
to a licensing issue.
