Use the activatefeature command to
activate a feature such as encryption (using a license key or keyfile)
or feature trial period.
Syntax
activatefeature [ -trial { feature_id | feature_name } ] [ licensekeykey ] [ licensekeyfilefilepath ]
Parameters
- -trialfeature_id | feature_name
- (Optional) Activates the trial period for the feature of the
specified ID using an unsigned 16-bit integer:
- Valid integer values are 0, 1 and 3.
- Valid names are turbo_performance, easy_tier,
and remote_mirroring.
- -licensekeykey
- (Optional) Provides the license key to activate a feature consisting
of 16 hexadecimal characters organized in four groups of four numbers
with each group separated by a hyphen (such as 0123-4567-89AB-CDEF).
- -licensekeyfilefilepath
- (Optional) Provides the full path-to-file containing all required
license information using an alphanumeric string consisting of 1 to
256 characters.
Description
All
parameters are mutually-exclusive.
When encryption is enabled, license
keys must be added to the system before a candidate enclosure can
be added to that system.
A license key file can
contain one or more license keys. If you specify a key file, every
key in the file is applied to the system. The license key is checked
against the node or control enclosure serial number, machine type,
and model. If there are 0 values to report, the command
cannot complete successfully on the clustered system. If you cannot
apply a key successfully to the system, the command adds any remaining
keys.
If a feature is already activated, and the you activate
a feature again using a key, the command completes successfully.
Remember: - You cannot perform a trial when a feature is activated.
- You can activate a feature while a trial is in progress.
