NOTE:
You may perform configuration for some features through both the HAFM and the Element
Manager. You must also enable Element Manager feature permissions for Administrative,
Operator, and Maintenance user levels through the HAFM. When this guide refers to the HAFM for
specific tasks, you should see the HAFM online help or the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager
user guide
for detailed instructions.
Feature keys
Feature keys verify ownership of the Element Manager and optional features that can be purchased
for the Element Manager. The feature key, which is encoded with a director’s serial number, can
only be configured on the director to which it is assigned.
When you purchase additional Element Manager features, you receive a feature key. The feature
keys that you are currently using are included in this key.
Here are some important notes about the Element Manager feature key introduced with this
release:
•
All edge directors that were purchased prior to the release of firmware 06.00.00 will
automatically have the Element Manager feature enabled when their firmware is upgraded to
version 06.00.00 or later. However, the feature key for the Element Manager will not be added
or incorporated into the existing feature key.
•
Enabling the Reset Configuration option through the Element Manager Maintenance menu
clears all features that were enabled through the Configure Feature Key dialog box. When you
attempt to reinstall features using a feature key assigned for a director prior to the release of
06.00.00, a warning displays that the Element Manager feature key is not installed. You must
contact customer support to get a feature key reassigned that includes the Element Manager
feature.
•
For directors shipped to you with firmware version 06.01.00 or later installed:
• Feature keys for the Element Manager are activated automatically.
• Feature keys for additional features you have purchased must be activated through the
Configure Feature Key dialog box in the Element Manager. See ”
on page 113 for more information.
