PowerScale OneFS 9.2.1.0 CLI Administration Guide
Update a license activation file manually
To update the license file, generate a license activation file and submit it to Software Licensing Central (SLC).
-
Run the
isi license generate command to create an activation file, or to add or remove licenses from your activation file.
The command includes the --file parameter to designate the location to save your activation file.The following command adds a OneFS license and saves the activation file, named <cluster-name>_activation.xml to the/ifs directory on your cluster:
isi license generate --include OneFS --file /ifs/<cluster-name>_activation.xml
The following command adds OneFS and SyncIQ licenses, removes your Cloudpools license, and saves the new activation file:isi license generate --include OneFS --include SyncIQ --exclude Cloudpools --file /ifs/<cluster-name>_activation.xml
-
Save a copy of the activation file to your local machine.
The next procedure describes how to submit the file to Dell Technologies SLC.
