Isilon SmartPool License
Hi,
I have 2 queries regarding Isilon SmartPool license.
1) How many license do we need to purchase in 10 node cluster?
2) If we already have SmartPool license in 3 node cluster & later we add additional 3 nodes to same cluster - then do we need additional license for SmartPool?
Kindly help with above queries regarding Isilon license.
Regards,
Bhavesh Rambhia

Each node requires a license for each feature. So with a 10 node cluster there will be a quantity of 10 of whatever license option you purchased. Often those are sold in bundles, like Enterprise License Bundle 10 or 11, that groups together many of the common features into 1 price. But really you'd need to speak with your account team about what you have purchased already, and what you'd like to have. The licenses are also based upon capacity tiers, so the more dense a node is the more expensive the license is. This of course makes logical sense, because a node full of let's say 8TB drives, could replace a bunch of nodes full of 2TB drives.
Anyway it's a conversation to have with your account team is the underlying point. They can guide you in the right direction.
