Adding storage to your machine

This scenario describes how to add storage (in terabytes) to an existing licensed feature such as the point-in-time copy.

For this scenario, assume you initially purchased a 2244 point-in-time feature (2244–PTC) for 25 terabytes (TB). After several months, you need an additional 20 TB for your point-in-time copy operations. To increase storage, you must purchase and activate a larger license. This is a nondisruptive activity and does not require that you reboot your machine.
  1. You order two of feature 7203 (10 TB each of 2244–PTC) against the serial number of the 2244 Model PTC license currently on your machine. These features will be the additional 2244 features that will increase your point-in-time copy authorization level.
  2. After you have ordered the features, you receive confirmation from IBM® that these new features have been processed.
  3. Connect to the IBM-supported Disk Storage Feature Activation (DSFA) Web site at http://www.ibm.com/storage/dsfa to retrieve an activation code for the licensed feature. This new code represents the total capacity that you now have licensed (or 45 TB). It licenses the original 25 TB plus the additional 20 TB that you just ordered.
  4. After you obtain the activation codes for the licensed feature, enter it into the Web-based DS Storage Manager. You replace the existing activation code with the new activation code.
  5. After the activation code is installed successfully, you now have 45 TB of 2244–PTC capacity.
