HPE XP7 DLM Advanced VMware TK928A Unlimited Server License

Brand:
HPE

HPE XP7 Dynamic Link Manager Advanced for VMware TK928A is an Unlimited Server LTU software license for VMware environments connected to XP7 storage, supporting I/O path failover, load balancing and resilient storage access.

OVERVIEW

  • HPE XP7 Dynamic Link Manager Advanced for VMware TK928A is an enterprise server-based multipathing and storage availability software license. It is specifically identified by HPE as the VMware Unlimited Server LTU model, providing path failover and load balancing for XP7-connected VMware servers. The unlimited-server entitlement differentiates TK928A from the 1-server TK927A model.
  • Compatibility: VMware environments with HPE XP7 storage.
  • Model comparison: TK928A = VMware Unlimited Server LTU; TK927A = VMware 1 Server LTU.

USE CASES

  • Manage storage paths across large VMware server estates
  • Provide resilient VMware access to HPE XP7 storage
  • Balance I/O across multiple available storage paths
  • Reduce disruption from failed storage connectivity paths
  • Support enterprise VMware SAN deployments with failover
  • Manage dynamic LUN changes without server reboots
  • Monitor storage path health across VMware infrastructure
  • Optimize HBA bandwidth across XP7 storage connections
  • Scale storage path licensing across unlimited servers
  • Improve availability for storage-intensive VMware workloads
  • Simplify multipathing administration for virtualization teams
  • Support fault-tolerant VMware storage architectures

WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT?

  • Unlimited Server LTU provides a scalable licensing model for organizations operating multiple VMware servers against XP7 storage.
  • Automatic failover redirects I/O to an alternate path when a storage path encounters an error, helping reduce storage-access interruptions.
  • Load balancing distributes I/O across available paths, supporting more efficient use of the storage connectivity infrastructure.
  • Health checks + error detection helps administrators identify unhealthy paths and maintain resilient storage access.
  • Dynamic LUN operations allows documented LUN additions and deletions without requiring a server reboot, simplifying storage changes.
  • Unlimited-server licensing avoids the repeated procurement of individual 1-server LTUs as the covered server population expands.
