Description

Use this command to configure and manage licenses for the Brocade FX8-24 extension blade on
the slot where the blade is installed.

Slot-based licenses allow you to select the slots the license will enable up to the purchased
capacity and thereby increase existing capacity without disrupting the slots for which licensed
features are already enabled.

There is a separate slot-based license key for each licensed feature supported on the blade. For
example, the Brocade FX8-24 supports slot-based license keys for each of the following features:

10 GbE license - Enables the two 10GbE ports on the Brocade FX8-24.

Advanced Extension license - Enables FCIP Trunking and Adaptive Rate Limiting.

Advanced FICON Acceleration license - Accelerates FICON tape read and write and IBM Global
Mirror data replication operations over distance.

A license key with the specified capacity must be installed with the licenseAdd command before
you can enable the feature on a specified slot with the licenseSlotCfg command. Refer to the Fabric
OS Administrator’s Guide
for more information.

Note

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability
" for details.

In Fabric OS v6.3.0, slot-based licensing is available only on the Brocade FX8-24 extension blade.
All other blades continue to use the chassis-based licensing model as before.
