Redeeming and Registering HP 3PAR Licenses HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 products include 3PAR licensing, which enables all system functionality. Failure to register the license key may limit access and restrict system upgrades. The Summary Entitlement Certificate is enclosed in a blue envelope in the accessories kit shipped with the system. The certificate must be redeemed through the HP Licensing for Software portal before you begin installing the hardware and software components. To redeem the Summary Entitlement Certificate, visit www.hp.com/software/licensing and register all applicable HP software licenses. Use your HP Passport credentials or create a new HP Passport profile. For assistance with registering the HP software licenses, visit the HP Support website: http:// www.hp.com/support. Storage System Installation You can install the storage system in one of two ways, depending on your configuration. Both methods connect to the network in the same way. • Setting up an HP integrated rack installed with system components and delivered to the customer. See "Setting Up a Factory-Integrated Storage System" (page 15). • Installing system components in an existing rack. System components are shipped to the customer in separate packaging, and are installed by the customer in a third-party rack or HP rack. See "Installing Storage System Components into a Rack" (page 19). See the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage Site Planning Manual for configuration specifications and installation requirements.
