Capacity Based Licensing Tool

Capacity Based Licensing Tool

The Capacity Based Licensing tool provides an estimation as to how much data CA SRM monitors along with the assets CA SRM manages. This tool operates as a command line utility that enables you to generate reports. These reports provide the storage consumption based in terabytes. They are encrypted, but an HTML version is provided for you. You can view the HTML reports with your web browser.

You need to execute the capacity tool manually. There are three options to do this:

• Click cbreport.bat. You can locate cbreport.bat in the following directory:
  • For 32 bit operating systems: C:\Program Files\CA\BrightStor SRM\Bin folder.
  • For 64 bit operating systems: C:\Program files(x86)\CA\Brightstor SRM folder\Bin folder.

    Note: This directory path for 64-bit operating systems is for fresh installations only.

• Enter commands directly at the command prompt.
• Select Start, Programs, CA, Storage Resource Manager, Utilities, and then Diagnostic Report Manager.

You cannot run this utility remotely. You need to run it on the Application Server machine. The utility is compatible with CA SRM r11.6 only.

Note:

• If you add a license file, you need to restart the iGateway before running the cbreport utility.
• Before running Capacity Based License reports, invoke TLI DC manually to get the very recent capacity details. The following are the steps to invoke TLI DC.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Windows Client.
2. In the Object tree view, select Application, All Applications.
3. From the Configuration menu in the right pane, select Recalculate Data.

The data collection happens and the capacity based license reports display the updated details.
