Feature on Demand
Note: The Feature on Demand functionality is only available on some IBM adapters.
FoD is an IBM proprietary protocol that enables storage functions on Emulex adapters.
This feature requires a unique license key to be applied from IBM's IMM. For additional
information on obtaining a license key, contact your IBM representative.
The FoD Type and FUI fields are required by IBM to generate a unique license key for
the specific adapter for which you have requested a license. Each controller in the
system should obtain its own license key.
To view Feature on Demand information, from the Emulex NIC Selection screen, select
Feature On Demand and press
Figure 11-23 Feature On Demand Screen
From the Feature On Demand screen, you can view information on the feature type, the
FoD Unique Identifier, and its current status.
FoD Type: The FoD Type field is unique for each platform. Different products have
different FoD types. For example, LOM products have a different FoD type than
mezzanine cards.
FUI: The FUI field is internally generated by the Emulex firmware using the FoD
type and the adapter’s serial number. The FUI is unique to each adapter because
each card will have its own unique serial number.
