HP Cluster Extension node based licenses are licensed per single server One license is required for each node of the cluster that willcontain CLX resources intended for failover and failback in the event of failure The P9000 Cluster Extension Software licenses can beused for P9500 and XP24K20K2K10K

HP Cluster Extension array based licenses are licensed per single array In a typical configuration one or more CLX cluster nodes mightbe connected to a single array Each of such nodes contain CLX resources intended for failover and failback in the event of failure Onelicense is required for every array connected to the CLX cluster There are no limitations on the number of CLX nodes connected to anarray These licenses are applicable only for 3PAR and XP arrays

Both the node and the array based licensing cannot exist simultaneously in Disaster Recovery environment

NOTEElectronic software is available in all countries except China and Japan For China and Japan should order the physical equivalent

A resource is defined as the smallest unit in an application service It describes the necessary parts to build an application service Theimplementation of such resources in cluster software is vendor-specific Some vendors do not allow accessing the chains betweendependent resources
