Capacity license settings

Use the Capacity License Settings panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to select the set licensing values for Capacity Licensing scheme for your cluster.

Introduction

Use this licensing scheme if you purchased SAN Volume Controller (5639-VC*). With this type of licensing, you select the number of terabytes that are available for your license for virtualization, for Metro Mirror and Global Mirror relationships, and for FlashCopy® mappings. The license applies to the entire site, so you need to allocate capacity for all the clusters that are located on the site. The virtualization limit represents the amount of storage that you are permitted to virtualize for the cluster. It must be set to a nonzero value before you can use the system. Verify your license information to determine the following information:
  • The amount of virtual storage (in terabytes) that your license permits.
  • The Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, and FlashCopy capacities that your license permits.
