3.
Contact your HP representative to purchase the HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade
License, part number T4260A.
4.
Upon receipt of the HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade License, install the license:
a. Log in to the 4/16 Switch as admin.
b. Issue the licenseadd command, followed by the license key enclosed in
quotation marks. (The license key consists of approximately 16 uppercase
and lowercase letters and numerals.)
NOTE:
Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter the key incorrectly,
the license will not function properly.
c.
Issue the licenseshow command to verify that the license is valid. If a
licensed product is not displayed, the license is invalid.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to reboot the system. The product is available
immediately after you enter the license key.
5.
Configure the inactive ports. Issue the portstart command to start the ports. This
command loads the port code, unlike the portenable command, which enables
the port laser. For example:
portstart 16–31
6.
Issue the portenable command to enable the ports. For example:
portenable 16–31
7.
Optional: Issue the portshow command to verify that the newly activated ports
are started.
Enabling E_Ports on the 4/8 SAN Switch
The 4/8 SAN Switch requires that you purchase the Full Fabric Upgrade License, part
number T4261A, to enable E_Ports (the 4/16 SAN Switch ships with the Full Fabric
license installed). The switch, by default, cannot be connected to another switch until this
license is installed. Without the license, the switch can still be directly connected to hosts
and storage devices. To install the Full Fabric Upgrade License, use the licenseadd
command. After it has been installed, the license appears under the licenseshow
command as Full Fabric License and indicates that E_Ports are now automatically
enabled when interswitch links (ISLs) are connected.
