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.
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.
The Brocade 7840 supports slot-based license keys for each of the following features:
• WAN Rate Upgrade 1 - Provides additional throughput up to 10 Gbps.
• WAN Rate Upgrade 2 - Provides unlimited throughput as supported by the hardware.
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 restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric
OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details.
