A VLS capacity license must be installed on the VLS when storage exceeds the base license. If you are in a license violation state, all VLS read/write operations are disabled until either sufficient licenses are installed to support the storage, or the excess storage is removed. When you have cleared a license violation by installing an upgrade capacity license, the VLS read/write operations are automatically enabled without requiring a reboot. Unconfigured VLS12000 Gateway array LUNs are counted by the system; therefore, they can contribute to license violations. • Deduplication - when you have upgraded to firmware version 3.1.x or higher to use the deduplication feature. A VLS deduplication license must be installed on the VLS before you can use the deduplication feature. The number of deduplication licenses must match or exceed the number of capacity licenses installed. After you install the deduplication licenses, the VLS system automatically enables the deduplication feature for all supported backup types. • Replication - when you have upgraded to firmware version 3.2.x or higher to use the deduplication-enabled replication feature. A VLS replication license must be installed on the VLS before you can use deduplication-enabled replication. Without the license, you may replicate backups across the SAN or LAN/WAN. However, you need the replication license to replicate backups that have been deduplicated. Deduplication-enabled replication requires one license per node on the target site. Follow these steps to install capacity, deduplication, and replication licenses: 1. Use Command View VLS to obtain the VLS system serial number from the Identity tab. 2. Locate the paper or email entitlement certificate for the licenses you purchased. (You selected the delivery method during the ordering process.) HP recommends purchasing electronic certificates over physical certificates for faster delivery and the convenience of not having to manage (either file away or throw away) confidential paper certificates. 3. Log on to http://www.webware.hp.com. 4. Select Generate Licenses. 5. Sign in. If you are a new user, follow the on-screen instructions. 6. Enter the order number from the entitlement certificate. 7. Enter the VLS serial number. You will receive a license key immediately onscreen and via email. 8. Copy the license key. 9. Complete the installation in Command View TL. See the HP OpenView Command View for TL User Guide for instructions. 46 Storage Configuration
