Understanding the Mine to NUS Starter License Conversion Rate | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

You may notice that when converting Mine V2 licenses to NUS Starter licenses in portfolio 2.0, the conversion rate appears to be 50% of the original amount of Mine V2 licenses.
 

Example:

50 TiBs of Mine V2 licenses convert to 25 TiBs of NUS licenses.

 

This difference is due to the way Mine V2 licenses and NUS licenses are calculated:

  • Mine V2: Represent raw TiBs of capacity.
  • NUS licenses: Represent usable TiBs of capacity.

When converting from Mine V2 licenses to NUS licenses, the conversion rate is 2:1 because NUS account for usable storage capacity, which is about half of the raw storage. This means that for every 2 TiBs of Mine V2 (raw capacity), you will get 1 TiB of NUS (usable capacity).

Great Info Miriam, thanks for the explanation. 


Just to clarify, the % adjustment in this conversion is not a loss of storage licensing for the customer.  At first glance it would seem that way but a little online research into raw vs usable storage capacity sheds some light on this dynamic.   The Mine to NUS licensing ratio should cover the cluster’s RAID 1 configurations but if there are any questions on this, please reach out to your Nutanix account SE.   🤓
