5 Configuring licenses

Licensing is required for a number of StoreOnce functions or hardware features.

Capacity expansion, StoreOnce 5500

This is storage that is additional to the base product. Each Capacity Upgrade after installation
requires a license that must be loaded.
The StoreOnce 5500 System supports two capacity expansion options.
BB941A: HPE StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Disk Pack
The HPE StoreOnce 5500 System (44 TB) Capacity Expansion kit is a pack of eleven 4 TB
disks, which are added to the original disk enclosure in the sequence described in this guide.
A maximum of five of these kits may be used with the first enclosure until all disk bays are
full.
BB946A: HPE StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Enclosure with Disks
Once all bays in the disk enclosure are full, it is possible to connect three further Capacity
Upgrade Kits to your HPE StoreOnce 5500 System. These are 60 TB disk enclosures. Care
must be taken to ensure the integrity of the SAS cabling when connecting additional
enclosures.
Storage in each enclosure may also be expanded using up to five of the BB941A expansion
kits.
See the StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Guide for further information.

Pre-installed Capacity licenses

If capacity expansion has been ordered and pre-configured by the factory with the base system,
the license will already have been applied.
Note that Manufacturing will use a single license that covers all expansions. For example, a fully
populated StoreOnce 5500 System with five Capacity Upgrade disk packs will display a 1 x 44
TB license that covers 220 TB on the License Management page.
This facility to bundle multiple 44 TB Capacity Upgrade licenses is not available to the customer
after installation.
Capacity expansion, StoreOnce 3100 System, StoreOnce 3500 Series
and StoreOnce 5100 System
The StoreOnce 3100 System has 4 x 2 TB disks and does not support capacity expansion.
The StoreOnce 3500 Series is supplied with 12 disks; two models are available, StoreOnce
3540 System (12 x 4 TB disks) and StoreOnce 3520 System( 12 x 2 TB disks). The base
configuration for both models uses 50% of the available capacity (24 TB or 12 TB). Capacity
expansion is available by purchasing and applying a license for the remaining disk capacity.
Neither model supports additional storage disk packs or enclosures.
If configured in the factory for the full capacity of 48 TB (3540 model) or 24 TB (3520 model),
all storage will already be licensed. If not factory configured, the license entitlement will be
delivered to the user via email. See also
The StoreOnce 5100 System supports capacity expansion; up to five Capacity Upgrade Kits
may be connected to the base system and each requires a license. If configured in the factory
for capacity expansion, all storage will already be licensed and available for use. If not factory
configured, the license entitlement will be delivered to the user via email and the storage
must be added to the RAID configuration. See the StoreOnce 5100 48 TB Capacity Upgrade
Kit Guide for further information.
