license - license Data ONTAP services

Table of Contents

The license command enables you to enter license codes for specific Data ONTAP services. The license codes are provided by Network Appliance. With no arguments, the license command prints the current list of licensed services and their codes. It also shows the services that are not licensed for your filer.

The filer is shipped with license codes for all purchased services, so you need to enter the license command only after you purchase a new service or after you reinstall the file system.

To disable a license, enter the code DISABLE.

All license codes are case-insensitive. Do not leave a space before or after the equal sign in the command.

The following list describes the services you can license:

Enter nfs to enable NFS.

Enter cifs to enable CIFS.

Enter http to enable HTTP.

Enter cluster to enable clusters.

Enter snapmirror to enable SnapMirror.

Enter snaprestore to enable SnapRestore.

EXAMPLES

The following example enables NFS:

toaster> license nfs=ABCDEFG

  nfs license enabled.
          nfs enabled.

The following example disables CIFS:

toaster> license cifs=DISABLE

  unlicense cifs.
          cifs will be disabled upon reboot.

CLUSTER CONSIDERATIONS

You must enable the licenses for the same Data ONTAP(tm) services on both filers in a cluster, or takeover does not function properly. When you enable or disable a license on one filer in a cluster, the filer reminds you to make the same change on its partner.

You can disable the cluster license only if both of the following conditions are true:

The filer is not in takeover mode.

You have used the cf disable command to disable cluster failover.
