Storage Array Capacity license criteria

Note:

The following description applies to most storage arrays, with the exceptions listed in the following section.

See Vendor-specific capacity license criteria.

Licensing is based on the raw capacity of storage arrays, for arrays that have been polled within the last 30 days. This capacity is the total capacity of all the physical disks in the storage array. If arrays are provisioning storage to other arrays and we are capturing data from the source arrays, to avoid double-counting of capacity, only the capacity of the source arrays (not the recipient arrays) is counted toward licensing.
