Hi James,

Command View EVA6 doesn't enforce the EVA LTU... in fact I don't recall anywhere to actually install licenses on that version...

Maybe something's getting confused in CA.

Cheers,

Rob

sorry my bad,

the commandview EVA version is 7

the issue is 1TB licence(1024GB) but my total raw capacity is 1093GB so i am not able to create or present vdisks to any hosts

is there a way round it or i have to add another 1TB ltu??

You have to add another CV-EVA 1TB LTU at least. CV-EVA counts against the complete physical disk space unlike CA + BC which count against source virtual disk space.
