Complete this task to obtain your feature activation codes for
the licensed features for each storage unit. To obtain your activation codes,
you must connect to the IBM Disk Storage Feature Activation (DSFA) Web site.
Before you can connect to the site, ensure that you have the following
items:
- The IBM License Function Authorization documents. If you are activating
codes for a new storage unit, these documents are included in the shipment
of the storage unit. If you are activating codes for an existing storage unit,
IBM sends these documents to you in an envelope.
- A diskette for downloading your activation codes into a file. Use the
diskette if you cannot access the IBM® System
Storage™ DS Storage Manager from
the system that you are using to access the DSFA Web site. Instead of using
a diskette, you can also write down the activation codes and then manually
enter them into the system that runs the DS Storage Manager.
- The machine serial number, model, and signature. See Locating the serial number, model, and signature
for more information.
To obtain your activation codes, perform the following steps:
- At a computer with an Internet connection and a browser, connect
to the IBM Disk Storage Feature Activation (DSFA) Web site at http://www.ibm.com/storage/dsfa.
- The DSFA application displays in the browser. Use the application
to obtain the activation codes and follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: In most situations, the
DSFA application can locate your order confirmation code when you enter the DS6000™ (1750)
serial number and signature. However, if the order confirmation code is not
attached to the 1750 record, you must assign it to the 1750 record in the
DSFA application. In this situation, you will need the order confirmation
code (which you can find on the License Function Authorization document).
