    Attention:
    • License settings are entered when the system is first created; do not update the settings unless you change your license.
    • To select Capacity Licensing, run the chlicense command with one or more of the -flash, -remote, and -virtualization parameters. If the physical disks value is nonzero, these parameters cannot be set.
