Licensed function
Activate licensed features before you configure your DS6000 series.
Before you can configure your DS6000 series, you must activate your licensed
features to enable the functions purchased on your machine. The DS6000 series is
licensed at the following levels:
v
Machine licensing uses licensed machine code (LMC) to activate base functions
on your machine. When you receive a DS6800 and/or DS6000 expansion
enclosure, you receive an LMC agreement. The use of the machine constitutes
acceptance of the license terms outlined in the LMC agreement. The DS6800
system requires LMC level 5.0.0, or later.
Some DS6000 series features and functions may not be available or supported in
all environments. Current information on supported environments, prerequisites,
and minimum operating systems levels is available
at: http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/disk/ds6000/interop.html
v
Operating environment licensing (OEL) manages the machine operating
environment and is required on every DS6800 system. The extent of IBM
authorization acquired through the DS6800 feature numbers (5 xxx ) must cover
the physical capacity of the DS6800 system, where system is defined as the
base enclosure and all attached expansion enclosures.
If the operating environment license has not been acquired and activated on the
machine, disk drives installed within the DS6800 system cannot be logically
configured for use. Upon activation, disk drives can be logically configured up to
the extent of authorization.
As additional disk drives are installed, the extent of IBM authorization must be
increased by acquiring additional DS6800 feature numbers (5 xxx ). Otherwise, the
additional disk drives cannot be logically configured for use.
v Feature licensing controls the licenses of features of each DS6800. Each
DS6800 licensed function feature number enables the use of, and establishes the
extent of, IBM authorization for licensed function(s) acquired for a DS6800
system.
Each licensed function feature number is applicable only for the specific DS6800
(by serial number) for which it was acquired and is not transferable to another
serial numbered DS6800.
To activate the feature licenses for your DS6000 series, you must access the Disk
Storage Feature Activation (DSFA) application from the IBM Web site.
