DR Series System Drive and System Capacities
. There are two ways that expansion shelf
licenses can be purchased: point of sale (POS) and after point of sale (APOS).
•
POS licenses are those ordered from the factory with the DR Series system hardware appliance and the expansion
shelf enclosures.
•
APOS licenses are those ordered later separately from Dell for new expansion shelves or for existing Dell MD1200
storage arrays intended for use as expansion shelf enclosures.
NOTE: The 300 Gigabyte (GB) drive capacity (2.7 TB) version of the DR Series system does not support the addition
of expansion shelf enclosures.
There are two ways to obtain the expansion shelf enclosure license (license.xml):
•
By downloading the license file from the Dell Support website (support.dell.com), in which you enter your service tag
or navigate to your DR Series system type, then click Get Drivers.
•
By using an email link from Dell where the license file resides.
Once you have located the license file for expansion shelf enclosure use WinSCP to copy it to the /store/license, which
is a location known by the DR Series system software.
NOTE: Each added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal
drive slot capacity (0–11). Because 1 TB drives are the smallest ones supported by the expansion shelf enclosure
you add, the 600 Gigabyte (GB) DR Series systems need to use 1 TB or larger sized drives in any expansion shelf
enclosure added to the base system.
Syntax
system --license --validate
Result
License file is valid and can be installed.
To add a validated license for a data storage expansion shelf (enclosure), use the following DR Series system CLI
command:
system --license --add
License file has successfully installed.
NOTE: The recommended process for adding an expansion shelf enclosure involves the following tasks:
•
Use the system --license [--validate] [--add] command to validate and install the license for the expansion
shelf enclosure.
•
Power off (if needed) the Dell MD1200 storage array, physically connect the expansion shelf enclosure to the
base DR Series system, and power on the expansion shelf enclosure.
•
Use the system --add_storage --enclosure command (for specific information, see
).
