Functions provided by eReplication available only after the license of eReplication is imported and activated.
Context
A license is controlled by its license file that defines the application scope, functions, and expiration date of a product.
eReplication can be used to control host or VM quantity by applying for a license. The description of licenses is as follows:
- Basic edition
License quantity is not restricted. You cannot check topologies, perform recovery plans and mounting plan.
- Advanced edition
If you try to add a host when the number of hosts for DR protection and recovery reaches that authenticated by the license, the host fails to be added.
Without importing a license, you can use all DR services for the first 90 days. After that, you can only use functions provided by the basic edition.
Procedure
- On the menu bar, select Settings.
- In the navigation tree, choose License Management > License Management.
- Click Import and select license files to be activated.
The system automatically checks the format and content of license files. If the check passes, the system automatically activates the imported licenses.
For details about how to apply for licenses, see the OceanStor BCManager 8.3.0 eReplication License Application Instructions.
- After the license files are imported, check whether they are what you apply for.
Follow-up Procedure
Click Export. You can save the license files locally for easy backup.
