Redeeming and Registering HP 3PAR Licenses
HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 products include 3PAR licensing, which enables all system functionality.
Failure to register the license key may limit access and restrict system upgrades.
The Summary Entitlement Certificate is enclosed in a blue envelope in the accessories kit shipped
with the system. The certificate must be redeemed through the HP Licensing for Software portal
before you begin installing the hardware and software components.
To redeem the Summary Entitlement Certificate, visit www.hp.com/software/licensing and register
all applicable HP software licenses. Use your HP Passport credentials or create a new HP Passport
profile.
For assistance with registering the HP software licenses, visit the HP Support website: http://

Storage System Installation
You can install the storage system in one of two ways, depending on your configuration. Both
methods connect to the network in the same way.
• Setting up an HP integrated rack installed with system components and delivered to the
customer. See “Setting Up a Factory-Integrated Storage System” (page 15).
• Installing system components in an existing rack. System components are shipped to the
customer in separate packaging, and are installed by the customer in a third-party rack or HP
rack. See “Installing Storage System Components into a Rack” (page 19).
See the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage Site Planning Manual for configuration specifications
and installation requirements.

Connectivity Knowledge for HP Storage Products (SPOCK) website at http://www.hp.com/storage/
