licenseSlotCfg
Configures and displays slot-based licensed features.
SYNOPSIS licenseslotcfg --add feature slot

licenseslotcfg --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure and manage licenses for the Brocade FX8-24 extension blade on the slot
where the blade is installed.
Slot-based licenses allow you to select the slots the license will enable up to the purchased capacity and
thereby increase existing capacity without disrupting the slots for which licensed features are already
enabled.
There is a separate slot-based license key for each licensed feature supported on the blade. For
example, the Brocade FX8-24 supports slot-based license keys for each of the following features:
• 10 GbE license - Enables the two 10GbE ports on the Brocade FX8-24.
• Advanced Extension license - Enables FCIP Trunking and Adaptive Rate Limiting.
• Advanced FICON Acceleration license - Accelerates FICON tape read and write and IBM Global
Mirror data replication operations over distance.
A license key with the specified capacity must be installed with the licenseAdd command before you can
enable the feature on a specified slot with the licenseSlotCfg command. Refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide for more information.
NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
