12 Licensing
This chapter describes how to view your current license terms and how to obtain and install new
X9000 Software product license keys.
NOTE:
For MSA2000 G2 licensing (for example, snapshots), see the MSA2000 G2 documentation.
Viewing license terms
The X9000 Software license file is stored in the installation directory on the management console. To
view the license from the management console GUI, select Cluster Configuration in the Navigator
and then select License.
To view the license from the CLI, use the following command:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_license -i
The output reports your current node count and capacity limit. In the output, Segment Server refers to
file serving nodes.
Retrieving a license key
When you purchased this product, you received a License Entitlement Certificate. You will need
information from this certificate to retrieve and enter your license keys.
You can use any of the following methods to request a license key:
• Obtain a license key from http://webware.hp.com.
• Use AutoPass to retrieve and install permanent license keys. See Using AutoPass to retrieve and
install permanent license keys.
• Fax the Password Request Form that came with your License Entitlement Certificate. See the certi-
ficate for fax numbers in your area.
• Call or email the HP Password Center. See the certificate for telephone numbers in your area or
email addresses.
Using AutoPass to retrieve and install permanent license keys
The procedure must be run from a client with JRE 1.5 or later installed and with a desktop manager
running (for example, a Linux-based system running X Windows). The ssh client must also be installed.
1. On the Linux-based system, run the following command to connect to the Management Console:
ssh -X root@<management_console_IP>
2. When prompted, enter the password for the management console.
