Introducing the Connectrix DS-300B
Ports on demand license
The DS-300B can be purchased with 8, 16, or 24 licensed ports. As
your needs increase, you can activate unlicensed ports by purchasing
and installing the Ports on Demand optional licensed product. After
it has been installed, the license appears under the licenseShow
command as Ports on Demand license.
By default, ports 0 through 7 are enabled on the DS-300B. To enable
ports 8 through 16, install a Ports on Demand license key. To enable
ports 16 through 24, install another Ports on Demand license.
After you have installed the license keys, you must enable the ports.
You can do so without disrupting switch operation by using the
portEnable command on each port individually. Alternatively, you
can disable and re-enable the switch to activate all ports
simultaneously.
For detailed information on enabling additional ports using the Ports
on Demand license, see the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide.
