Adding a licensed feature

To enable a feature, go to the feature’s appropriate section in this manual. Enabling a feature on a switch

may be a separate task from adding the license.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. Activate the license using the licenseAdd command.

switch:admin> licenseadd "key"

For the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director and the HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director

and HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch enterprise-class platforms, licenses are effective on

both CP blades, but are valid only when the CP blade is inserted into an enterprise-class platform that

has an appropriate license ID stored in the WWN card. If a CP is moved from one enterprise-class

platform to another, the license works in the new enterprise-class platform only if the WWN card is the

same in the new enterprise-class platform. Otherwise, you must transfer licenses from the old WWN to

the new WWN.

For example, if you swap one CP blade at a time, or replace a single CP blade, the existing CP blade

(the active CP blade) propagates the licenses to the new CP blade.

If you move a standby CP from one enterprise-class platform to another, the active CP propagates its

configuration (including license keys).

3. Verify that the license was added by entering the licenseShow command. The licensed features

currently installed on the switch are listed. If the feature is not listed, enter the licenseAdd command

again.
