Acquiring Feature Licenses

© Copyright Lenovo 2017
The base license provides support for a single compute node of fourteen internal 10
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)/Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports, two external 10
GbE/FCoE Small Form Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports, and six Omni Ports which can
be used either for 10 GbE/FCoE or 4/8 Gigabits per second (Gbps) Fibre Channel
(FC) connections. Additional ports are available with optional licenses. There are
two upgrades that are available for the CN4093.
Upgrade 1 adds supports for the following:
 Fourteen additional internal 10 GbE/FCoE compute node ports
 Two external 40 GbE/FCoE Quad Small Form Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) ports,
which can be used as eight 10GbE/FCoE SFP+ ports
Upgrade 2 adds support for the following:
Fourteen additional internal 10 GbE/FCoE compute node ports

 Six additional Omni Ports allowing the same port to be used either as a 10
GbE/FCoE SFP+ port or as a 4 Gbps or 8 Gbps FC port
Note: Upgrade 1 and Upgrade 2 are independent and can be installed in any order,
with or without the other.
Upgrade licenses are unique to each switch and are non transferable.
To acquire an upgrade license activation key, purchase the Authorization Code and
locate the unique ID (UID) on the switch serial number (SN) label (bottom or rear
of switch module). The UID is the last twelve characters of the switch serial
number. This serial number is located on the part number (PN) label (bottom or
rear of switch module) and is also displayed during a login to any of the user
interfaces. For example, SN (UID): Y250CM294998. For more information about
locating the switch identification labels, see "Before Installing the CN4093" on
page 17.
In the event of the switch replacement, new activation key files based on the serial
number of the replacement unit must be acquired and installed. If the replacement
is handled through Lenovo Service and Support, your original Authorization Code
is transferred to the serial number of the replacement unit.
You can use the Lenovo website to perform the following tasks:
 Request a new activation key
 Check an authorization code to see what feature it enables and how many
remaining times it can be used to create a key
 Retrieve the history of feature activation on a selected device
 Retrieve the history of feature activation on a selected authorization code
