NOTE:
Check the port status to determine whether the license is preinstalled. Use the
portshow
command for ports 16 through 31. If the port status output indicates
Started
and Licensed, all 32 ports are activated.
1.
If ports 16 through 31 show no license, you can purchase the HP StorageWorks
8-Port Upgrade License, part number T3677A, from an authorized HP representative.
Your HP representative requires the 4/32 SAN Switch’s WWN in order to assign a
license key. Enter the switchshow command to obtain the WWN of your 4/32
SAN Switch.
2.
Install the HP StorageWorks 8-Port Upgrade License. The license key consists of
approximately 16 uppercase and lowercase letters and numerals.
a. Log in to the 4/32 SAN Switch as admin.
b. Enter the licenseadd command, followed by the license key enclosed in
quotation marks.
NOTE:
Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter it incorrectly, the
license will not function properly.
c. After entering the license key, use the licenseshow command to verify that
the license is valid. If a licensed product is not displayed, the license is invalid.
NOTE:
After entering a license key, the licensed product is available
immediately. The system does not require a reboot.
3.
Configure the inactive ports. Issue the portstart command to start the ports. This
command loads the port code, unlike the portenable command, which enables
the port laser. For example:
portstart 16–31
4.
Issue the portenable command to enable the ports. For example:
portenable 16–31
5.
Optional: Issue the portshow command to verify that the newly activated ports
are started.
