Applying a License Key

License keys can be purchased for expanding library capacity, control path failover,
and data path failover.
License keys are absolute values that can only increase a licensed feature. For
example, if a license key specified a slot count of 92 slots and later a different
license key was installed that specified 46 slots, the total licensed slot count would
still be 92 slots. It is possible to license more slots than are physically available in
the library at the time. If an Expansion Module (EM) is added, the extra licensed
slots become available.
A Capacity Expansion license key (Feature Code 1640) can be applied to the library
during the initial configuration or at any time in the future. If additional features
are purchased (Control Path Failover and/or Data Path Failover), the new license
key replaces the current license key. The new license key includes all previously
licensed features along with the newly licensed features.
A Path Failover license key (Feature Code 1682) supplies one or both licenses for
Control Path Failover and/or Data Path Failover. For more information, refer to
"Using Multiple Control Paths for Control Path Failover" on page 2-3 and "Using
Multiple Data Paths for Data Path Failover" on page 2-3.
Note: The license key is made up of 5 alphanumeric characters.

Cleaning Slots Configuration

Zero to four (0 to 4) cleaning slots can be configured in your library. These slots
are taken from the unassigned available storage slots. Cleaning cartridges in these
slots are used by the library's Auto Clean function when the drives request
cleaning.
Host-based cleaning will not use these slots. Host-based cleaning will import
cleaning cartridges (CLNxxx) as data cartridges and assign them to a particular
logical library.
