The 7200 is only a 2 node system, the 7400 was the 4 node model. Or are you just looking to add a disk tray? |

As long as the system hasn't reached the license cap (48) you need licenses for each feature you have per disk you are adding. You are adding NearLine drives. Just a friendly advise is that you should probably add more of what you got. Not many systems exist with only NL, so you might only have FC currently. Adding a new tier (SSD/FC/NL) will require new CPGs and possibly also Adaptive Optimisation if you want the best use of multiple tiers. If you add the same type as you got you only need a tunesys to spread existing data across new drives and then you are good to go. |

I can't understand what you are trying to say, but the 7200 supports 240 disks (node cage + 9 additional cages) as long as you are running at least 3.2.1.... I think it was increased from 120disks with 3.1.3, but not 100% sure ... but I know that at least from 3.2.1 it supports 240. |

Hello According to my searches on the net i've came with the following : the HP 3 par 7200 can support up to 9 enclosures and i made a list with part numbers to be purchased so i'm not sure if the new enclosure will need another 24 drive licence to enable the 24 disks on it or not . the showlicense command shows that it's licensed for unlimited disks. Quote: HP3PAR_7200 cli% showlicense License key was generated on Thu Jul 19 08:27:05 2018 System is licensed for unlimited disks.

As MammaGutt say. If you have at the Moment 48 or more Disk in your 3PAR, no more Licenses are needed. Than you by only the Shelf and Disks. And additional Support, if you like. |
