Applying feature activation keys to a new storage unit

After you obtain the feature activation keys, you must apply them to your storage
unit. You can apply the activation keys to a new storage unit by using the Apply
Configuration wizard in the IBM TotalStorage DS Storage Manager application.
The easiest way to apply the feature activation keys is to download the activation
keys from the IBM Disk Storage Feature Activation (DSFA) Web site to your local
computer and then access the DS Storage Manager application from that same
computer and upload the file. If you cannot access the DS Storage Manager from
the same computer that you used to access the DSFA Web site or if you wrote
down the information instead of downloading the information into a file, you must
ensure that you either have a diskette containing the downloaded activation keys
file or have the paper that contains the written activation keys.
