LIC-S3A-TP is a feature license for the Huawei OceanStor S5500T V1 that enables HyperThin thin provisioning to optimize storage utilization and reduce wasted capacity.
HyperThin delivers on-demand capacity allocation, minimizes unused storage, improves ROI, and lowers overall TCO by allocating physical space only when data is actually written.
LIC-S3A-TP is supported exclusively on Huawei OceanStor S5500T series arrays with V1 firmware and above.
Upload the LIC-S3A-TP license file via the OceanStor SAN Management Console under License Management and follow the on-screen prompts to activate HyperThin.
LIC-S3A-TP is a perpetual, one-time license that remains valid for the lifetime of your Huawei OceanStor S5500T array.
You need an OceanStor S5500T array running firmware version V1.2 or later and adequate controller and disk pool capacity to support thin provisioning.
No. HyperThin is optimized for minimal overhead and uses real-time allocation algorithms to maintain native performance levels.
Yes. Existing thick‐provisioned volumes can be nondisruptively converted in the SAN Management Console to HyperThin thin‐provisioned volumes.
HyperThin allocates physical blocks dynamically only when data is written, eliminating pre-allocated unused space and increasing usable capacity.
HyperThin uses finer-grained allocation and real-time reclaiming to achieve up to 30% higher capacity savings compared to standard thin provisioning.
After uploading the license file, select the S5500T array, choose ‘Activate Feature’, and confirm the license details to complete activation.
Yes. You can add physical disks or expand disk pools at any time without downtime, and HyperThin will automatically leverage new capacity.
Use the storage utilization dashboard in the SAN Management Console to view real-time allocation, reclaimable space, and capacity thresholds.
Verify the license file integrity, confirm firmware compatibility, re-upload the license via the SAN Management Console, and reboot controllers if needed.
Yes. HyperThin is fully compatible with VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and other major virtualization platforms via standard iSCSI or FC protocols.
