Storage Essentials SRM License Definitions:

• MAP = managed access port - used for Enterprise Edition, Provisioning Manager, Chargeback Manager and Global Reporter
• MAL = managed application license - used for Microsoft Exchange Server Viewer and Database Viewer (Oracle database, Sybase, Microsoft SQL and InterSystems Cache')
• User = Number of User's - Report Designer only
• TB = Terabytes (Physical Capacity) - used for File System Viewer, NAS Manager and Backup Manager
• 1 Array LTU - used for Performance Pack (HP EVA support only)

MAP License Definition
Interconnect devices:

• For a fully populated switch (i.e., all blades are installed and all ports in all blades have GBIC/SFPs installed), all ports are counted towards MAPs total. Otherwise, add up the number of GBIC/SFPs installed in the FC switch and that is the MAPs count.

Hosts:

• A non-SAN attached server (no HBA) that has the agent installed/discovered will count as 1 MAP
• A SAN attached server that has the agent installed/discovered will count each FC port as a MAP (a dual ported HBA will count as 2 MAPs)
• IDE or SCSI ports are not counted in MAP calculations unless they are used to connect to fabric switches or storage systems
• A Windows server with no CIM Extension installed, but that has been discovered via WMI will count as 1 MAP

Storage subsystems:
All discovered storage array controller ports count (for example SMI-S is used to find the arrays). If the array has 8 ports, it will count 8 MAPs. The number of MAPs in a storage system includes all physical connections independent of protocol (including Fibre Channel, ESCON, SCSI and/or FICON, Ethernet, or Gigabyte Ethernet).

MAL License Definition

• Each licensed copy/SID of the application being managed
• Named users, processor counts, or client access licenses do not increase the number of MALs
• NOTE: The Oracle Database Viewer Plug-in has been consolidated to a single viewer, which supports Oracle database, Sybase and Microsoft SQL and now InterSystems Cache' database. To accomplish this Oracle Viewer product number T4289AA was renamed to Storage Essentials SRM Database Viewer, and it will maintain the same part number T4289AA. However T4289AA now supports Oracle database, Sybase database and Microsoft SQL. If you previously purchased Sybase Viewer, Microsoft SQL and InterSystems Cache' database. Viewer and need additional licensing, order T4289AA for 1 MAL in the quantities sufficient to meet need.

TB License Definition
For File System Viewer
Total aggregated capacity, excluding raw volumes but including all clustered servers, of all file systems managed

For NAS Manager
Raw terabytes managed

For SRM Backup Manager

• Licensing is based on the maximum number of TBs backed up in a 1-day period including partial, incremental, and full backups for Veritas NetBackup or HP Data Protector. At the start of the Backup Manager application, the software totals the backup volume for the last 30 days, and calculates the 30 day average daily backup volume. If the calculated monthly value is greater then what is licensed, the software provides an out of compliance message.
  NOTE: This is a change from the previous Backup Manager licensing which, at startup of the application, Backup Manager, totals the backup size for the last 30 days, and if the monthly total is greater than the licensed value BU Mgr., gives a warning. Licensing was based on total capacity backed up in 30 days. The new licensing is based on total backed up capacity in one day.
  
  SRM Backup Manager ordering example:
  • A customer has a 10TB Database and performs a full backup on a daily basis. The total 1-day backed up capacity is 10TBs. In this example, the customer would need to order quantity (10) T4295AA 1TB LTU. However this order assumes database growth is static. To accommodate future capacity growth and reduce the risk of being out of licensing compliance. This customer agreed to a growth factor of 50% to cover incremental capacity growth. The readjusted order now is quantity (15) T4295AA and provides headroom for future capacity growth.
    

User License Definition

• The number of users licensed by Report Designer is based on the number of users who may create custom reports
  
• Licensing is not based on read access to the reports - just the design/creation of the reports
  

1- Array License Definition

• Licensing is based on the number of HP EVA(s), you plan to monitor EVA performance
