Add shelf capacity licenses
Apply appropriate shelf capacity licenses for all shelves as needed. Some legacy ES20
shelves may not require shelf capacity licenses.
Add storage license
Each storage shelf requires a shelf capacity license. This license is specific for either
active or Extended Retention tier usage of the shelf. Only the DD Extended Retention
for DD990 system has an Extended Retention tier.
Note
DD6300, DD6800 and DD9300, and DD9800 systems can only be licensed through the
Electronic Licensing and Management System (ELMS). Refer to the applicable
Data
Domain Operating System Release Notes
for the most up-to-date information on
product features, software updates, software compatibility guides, and information
about Data Domain products, licensing, and service.
An Expanded-Storage license is required when expanding the capacity of the active
tier beyond the entry capacity. Please check system documentation to determine if
the Expanded-Storage license is required.
Procedure
1. To add shelf capacity licenses, enter the
license add
command followed by
one or more license keys, separated with a space. For example:
# license add Capacity-Active
{license}
2. Issue the
storage add tier
command once for each enclosure that is to be
added to a tier. For example, for a standard Data Domain system:
# storage add tier active enclosure
enclosure-id
For a Data Domain system with Extended Retention:
# storage add tier archive enclosure
enclosure-id
For a Data Domain system with Cloud Tier:
# storage add tier cloud enclosure
enclosure-id
For a Data Domain system with Cache:
# storage add tier cache enclosure
enclosure-id
Note
In a single-node Data Domain system, storage devices are added to the active
tier by default. In a DD Extended Retention system, you must specify the active
or archive tier.
Specifying an
enclosure-id makes all disks in the enclosure available to the tier.
This is the preferred method of adding storage to a Data Domain system. To use
this option, all disks in the enclosure must be in the unknown state.
