Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 2.0 for PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s User's Guide

PDF

Managing licenses

The CMC features are available based on the license (CMC Express or CMC Enterprise) purchased. Only licensed features are available in the interfaces that allow you to configure or use CMC. For example, CMC web interface, RACADM, WS-MAN, and so on. CMC license management and firmware update functionality is always available through CMC web interface and RACADM.

Storage sled licenses

You can also purchase storage sled licenses to manage RAID controllers in CMC. The storage sled licenses can be installed at the factory or purchased online. Following are the supported storage sled license types:

  • One RAID controller and one HBA controller (RAID/HBA)

  • Both RAID controllers

Storage sled licenses can be used for one or two RAID controllers. If a license is assigned to RAID on a single controller, the license is applicable only to the first controller. Deleting a storage sled license may result in loss of RAID data.

Storage sled licenses are specific to a storage sled and are associated to the Service Tag of the storage sled. For example, if you move a storage sled from one chassis to another, the license is also moved along with the storage sled. The master copies of storage sled licenses are stored in the persistent store. For more information, see the Dell Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

The log messages for all storage sled license activities are stored in the CMC log file.

NOTE Storage sled licenses are required to change the FD33xS and FD33xD RAID controllers from HBA mode to RAID mode.
