Explanation
The amount of space that is licensed for a cluster
feature is being exceeded.
The feature that is being exceeded
might be:
- Virtualization (event identifier 009172)
- FlashCopy (event identifier 009173)
- Global and Metro Mirror (event identifier 009174)
- Transparent cloud tiering (event identifier 087046)
The cluster will continue to operate, but it might be violating
the license conditions.
User Response
- Determine which feature license limit has been exceeded. This might be:
- Virtualization (event identifier 009172)
- FlashCopy (event identifier 009173)
- Global and Metro Mirror (event identifier 009174)
- Transparent cloud tiering (event identifier 087046)
- Use the lslicense command to view the current license settings.
- Ensure that the feature capacity that is reported by the cluster has been set to match either
the licensed size, or if the license applies to more than one cluster, to the portion of the license
that is allocated to this cluster.
- Decide whether to increase the feature capacity or to reduce the space that is being used by
this feature.
- To increase the feature capacity, contact your IBM sales representative and arrange an increased
license capacity. Change the license settings for the cluster to set the new licensed capacity.
Alternatively, if the license applies to more than one cluster modify how the licensed capacity is
apportioned between the clusters. Update every cluster so that the sum of the license capacity for
all of the clusters does not exceed the licensed capacity for the location.
- To reduce the amount of disk space that is virtualized, delete some of the managed disks or
image mode volumes. The used virtualization size is the sum of the capacities of all of the managed
disks and image mode disks.
- To reduce the FlashCopy capacity delete some FlashCopy mappings. The used FlashCopy size is the
sum of all of the volumes that are the source volume of a FlashCopy mapping.
- To reduce Global and Metro Mirror capacity delete some Global Mirror or Metro Mirror
relationships. The used Global and Metro Mirror size is the sum of the capacities of all of the
volumes that are in a Metro Mirror or Global Mirror relationship; both master and auxiliary volumes
are counted.
- To reduce the number of I/O groups that use Transparent cloud tiering, disable cloud snapshots
for all cloud snapshot-enabled volumes from individual I/O groups until the total number of I/O
groups using transparent cloud tiering is below the license limit.
- The error will automatically be fixed when the licensed capacity is greater than the capacity
that is being used.
