Configuring Licensing
Before you can use VTS, you must enable virtual tape drive (VTD) licensing. You can also
enable licensing for optional features — SecureVTS, Instant DR, and AutoCopy (Instant DR
and AutoCopy are licensed together). To obtain license keys, log in to
https://
partners.crossroads.com, click Tools, and follow the instructions on the site. License keys are
generated based on the hardware ID of the VTS server. Obtain a set of license keys for each
VTS server in your environment.
Note The VTD license also enables compression, if included. Also, if the VTS server was
upgraded, you may need a Vital Product Data (VPD) file before you can enable
licensing. See the “Upgrading to 6.04” section of the Virtual TapeServer
Administration and Operations Guide for more information.
