is licesnce capacity based on usage or actually size or available size
I.e.
if i have 8 x 1 tb drives in a raid 5 that for some reason i only currently need 4tb of iscsi storage do i licence
a) - 4tb im using
b) - 8tb total size without raid
c) - 7tb of actual size
or as 8tb once raided and formated will come out at around 6tb i suppose thats an option to
thanks
Full version of DSS V6 will see the size of the RAID after is has been configured from the controller.
8 x 1TB RAID 5 = 6.5TB configured, requires 8TB license.
and thats because 8Tb is the closest you can get with the licensing options
so if there were 11x1tb disc in raid 5 that would be around 9.5 and if there were 2 controllers in the server 19tb so a 20 tb license would be ok ?
regards
Yes, you should be fine with 20 TB license;
