Universal time-based licensing
After v6.3.0, Web Tools supports universal time-based licensing. Each universal key is for a single
feature, and can be used on any product that supports the feature, for a defined trial period. At the
end of the trial period, the feature gets disabled. You can extend the universal key license. For
time-based licenses, the Expiry Date displays in the License Administration table (refer to
Figure 16
on page 47).
The following features are supported for universal time-based license:
• Fabric
• Extended Fabric
• Performance Monitor
• Trunking
• High-Performance Extension over FCIP/FC
• Fabric Watch
• Integrated Routing
• Adaptive Networking
• Server Application Optimization
High Availability overview
High-Availability (HA) features provide maximum reliability and nondisruptive replacement of key
hardware and software modules. High Availability is available only on the Brocade 48000 and
Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide
for additional information about High Availability.
The High Availability window, as shown in Figure 18 , displays information about the status of the HA
feature on each control processor (CP), and enables you to perform CP failover.
The background color of the HA button indicates the overall status of high availability on the switch.
The colors and their meanings are:
• Green—Healthy: HA Status is HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized.
• Yellow—Disruptive mode: HA Status is HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State not in sync.
• Red—HA is unavailable: HA Status is Non-Redundant.
Admin Domain considerations
HA is possible if the switch is a member of the current Admin Domain. If switch is not a member of
current Admin Domain, the Synchronize Services and Initiate Failover buttons are unavailable.
Launching the High Availability window
Use the following procedure to launch the High Availability window.
1. Select a Brocade 48000, Brocade DCX, or Brocade DCX-4S from the Fabric Tree.
The Switch View displays.
