What does Easy Tier licensing actually do on a FlashSystem array?

Easy Tier is IBM Storage Virtualize's automated data placement feature, moving data between flash and lower-cost storage tiers based on access patterns without manual intervention. It is part of the Storage Virtualize software licensing scope, not a hardware feature, so confirm whether it is included in the base license or requires a separate entitlement before assuming it is active on a new FlashSystem array.
