Acquiring Feature Licenses - Lenovo CN4093 User Manual

Acquiring Feature Licenses

© Copyright 2015 Lenovo
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
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
• Retrieve a lost authorization code
• Manage your Lenovo customer number
• Find help for the Features on Demand feature activation process
• Provide feedback to Lenovo about the Features on Demand process
Note: Your Lenovo ID and password are required to log into the Features on
Demand website.
