Viewing and updating license settings using the CLI

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to view and update your license settings.

SAN Volume Controller provides two license options: Physical Disk Licensing and Capacity Licensing. Perform the following steps to view and update your SAN Volume Controller license settings:

  1. Issue the svcinfo lslicense CLI command to view the current license settings for the cluster.
  2. Issue the svctask chlicense CLI command to change the licensed settings of the cluster.
    Attention:
    • License settings are entered when the cluster is first created; do not update the settings unless you have changed your license.
    • To select Physical Disk Licensing, run the svctask chlicense command with one or more of the physical_disks, physical_flash, and physical_remote parameters.
    • To select Capacity Licensing, run the svctask chlicense command with one or more of the -flash, -remote, and -virtualization parameters.

    For detailed license command usage information, see the IBM® System Storage® SAN Volume Controller Command-Line Interface User's Guide.
