Enabling or disabling the MultiStore license

Effects of enabling the MultiStore license  

Enabling the MultiStore license has the following effects on the storage system:

• You can use the vfiler and ipspace commands.
• Data ONTAP starts logging vFiler unit status information and sends vFiler unit status information using the AutoSupport feature.
• The routed daemon is disabled.
• The ip.match_any_ifaddr option is set to Off.
• The "vFiler unit limit" (the number of vFiler units you can create on this storage system, including vFiler0) is set to a default value between 3 and 11, depending on the memory capacity of the hosting storage system. You can change this value; see Adjusting the vFiler unit limit for more information.

Prerequisite for disabling the MultiStore license  

You can disable the MultiStore license only when no vFiler units other than vFiler0 are on the storage system. If there are other vFiler units on the storage system, you must destroy them before disabling the MultiStore license. For information about destroying a vFiler unit, see Destroying a vFiler unit.

Effects of disabling the MultiStore license  

Disabling the MultiStore license has the following effects:

• MultiStore becomes unavailable immediately. You can no longer use the vfiler and ipspace commands.
• The routed daemon is enabled after the next reboot.
