Licensing Issue
Hi Guys,
We have a number of P4500 SANs, most of which were purchased in the old lefthand days (pre HP takeover).
One of our SANs in a two node cluster, developed a faulty motherboard. My company have a hardware agreement with HP so we sourced a new MB and replaced it.
Now the license is invalid :(
We currently are renewing support on the SAN, but after ringing HP they tell me its a DL320s not a Lefthand SAN, give them the SAN serial no.
Trouble is this was bought way way way back, in Lefthand days.....there wasnt a SAN serial no, just the hardware serial no.
I'm keeping trying but any ideas will be helpfull.
Paul

Re: Licensing Issue
Hi Paul,
We had a license issue too with old - pre HP - storage nodes (slightly different - I missed a license conversion mail or this mail was not send). New licenses were generated but it took a lot of time and - I must say - a lot of cooperation of the HP personel in our country.
To cheer you up: they have the software to generate the keys somewhere.
best
Johan

Re: Licensing Issue
Paul,
Have you tried this? Send an email to mailto:americas_password@cnd.hp.com
Tell them "Please transfer the SANiQ license from <old MAC address> to <new MAC address> for product <insert product number>.
I use the above method and never have any problems. I used to put the order number in the title of the email, but the last couple of times I did not and they still generated a new license key for me.
