PowerPath License

Question

Gents, I've installed a windows server 2003 with 2 HBA's on a CX500. When i want to install PowPath 4.6.0 for Windows it comes with the question : License registration is not required to manage the CLARiiON AX series array. Do you have only AX series CLARiiON arrays connected to this host. When i select yes it installs without a licence but when i disconnect one of the HBA's my server hangs and i can't connect to my volumes on the CX500 anymore. Do i have to install / buy additional licenses? regards.

Looks like i have to order them, found an enclousure with 4 License keys for Netware, but none for Windows.

please update me as i'm only familair with a HP eva3000

The ax100 are the SP controllers right?!

I have a CX500 ...(if i'm right that consists of 2 x ax100 sp controllers, or am i totally wrong)

Thanx again dynamox!

The AX100 is actually a seperate low end array. The CX500 does consist of two Storage Processors, but they have no real relation to the AX100.
