Validating New Licenses And Updating Controller Card Status - HPE StoreOnce 6500 User Manual

You can also view details about specific optional hardware licenses, and you can activate your optional
hardware licenses.
For 6500 Systems:
Optional hardware is not supported on 6500 Systems. However, if adding a StoreOnce 6600 couplet to a
6500 cluster, 2 x 8 Gb Fibre Channel cards must be installed in the Optional Hardware PCIe slots of each
node of the StoreOnce 6600 couplet.
For 6600 Systems:
• Two PCIe slots (5 & 6) may be configured according to backup environment requirements.
• Network and Fibre Channel cards must be installed in pairs (two Fibre Channel cards or two network
cards). Available options are 10 GbE SFP Network cards, 8 Gb Fibre Channel cards, or 16 GbE Fibre
Channel cards.
• The DIMM modules must be installed in both nodes of a couplet.
• The optional hardware configuration must be the same for all couplets in a cluster.
