License Question

How do I figure out which servers need the license, so I can fix them. I have no licenses left. It says "2 server need licenses" which 2 though? Can someone shed some light on this for me, please. Yes it does say 2 licenses available I was testing by removing some servers. Thank you for any help in advanced.

Hi @jgonzalez

It is not possible to view this information via the GUI.
The only way to determine which 2 are not licensed is via REST API to GET /rest/licenses
If you are using OneView 4.1, refer here:
http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/docs/enterprise/servers/oneview4.1/cic-api/en/index.html#rest/licenses
If you are using OneView 4.2, refer here:
http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/docs/enterprise/servers/oneview4.2/cic-api/en/index.html#rest/licenses

On this specific case where you see 2 servers are not licensed versus 2 licenses are available, most likely a defect.
The license manager database may need to be cleaned up / reconciled.
Can you open a support case with a support dump?

Regards,
Bhaskar

You can slo use the Get-HPOVLicense PowerShell Cmdlet. There is a Nodes property that contains which servers are associated with which license pool.

Thank you both, I was able to use those cmdlets and find the 2. Thanks again.
