Greetings,
I got a document on my desk with all our Unix and Linux SFHA licenses. My boss asked me to verify that these are active and should be renewed.
To be able to do this I need to know what the license names mean.
These are some of the licenses on the list:

Christian,
v245 = A
M4000 = E
M3000 = B
v490 = C
Hope this helps,

Christian,
The server classification for SFHA can range from A-N, Tier A being the lowest end system (SPARC Solaris v240 for example) vs.a tier N which would be a E25K. In terms of what specifically these licenses are for, Storage Foundation HA Enterprise comprises Volume Manager, File System, DMP, FlashSnap, Database Accelerators, SmartTier and Veritas Cluster Server (All features except CFS).
Rewards Band indicates the volume of licenses you have purchased and your associated discount level. B is higher than A, C is higher than B and so on. No correlation whatsoever to the Server Tier lettering.
You have an A, B, C and E tier license. Between HP-UX, Solaris and AIX there a number of system that would qualify one of the these tiers. What OS specifically are you interested in?
Thanks,

Thanks for your very informative answer.
All our Unix licenses are for Solaris. SFHA Enterprise is installed on the following hardware:
2x SF v245
2x M4000
1x M3000
6x SF v490
Got any idea what Tier we need to cover these? I have a feeling we need to update some licenses as we bought new hardware during the year.

I found out we also have two T5120 and one old Sun Fire 420R running SFHA. Any chance you can find out which tier these belong to? Can I find this information somewhere else so that I don't have to bug you with this? :)
