6460.0. "StorageWorks License Keys for internal use only?" by MOVIES::HARRIS (It's got to be turn-onable & turn-offable) Mon Mar 10 1997 01:49

    
    Where/how do I obtain license keys for StorageWorks controller
    functions such as RAID and Writeback Cache for use on systems in use
    within DIGITAL for DIGITAL software engineers?
    
    Thanks,

    Which controller do you need the keys for?  I would suggest asking
    Storage Marketing or engineering for this information rather than a
    notes conference.

    Many of the licenses are on the StorageWorks DOCS Server:

6460.3Still stuck...MOVIES::HARRISIt's got to be turn-onable & turn-offableTue Mar 11 1997 05:4615
    
    Well my question is where/how do I obtain the licenses I need to use
    WBCA RAID and MIRR? What's the process a DIGITAL engineering group
    should use (that's me)? I agree with .1  - this isn't the place to
    to get a license, although ultimately I _do_ hope it'll help me find
    out how I should be doing it and I'll be able to license my controllers
    legitimately.
    
    My controllers are HSJ40, HSD30, HS1CP. They will also be HSJ50 and
    HSZ50 and possibly others later, so we will need to re-employ whatever
    process to obtain licenses this time, again.
    
    Sorry if I wasn't clear.

6460.4need to order the itemsSSDEVO::MARTENSQualification Program ManagerTue Mar 11 1997 07:4512
    While it may not be the answer you want to get. It is my understanding
    that you order the license with the HSOF when you get the controllers.
    And then you can get MDDS to keep them up to date.
    
    There are no methods for updating internal units. The code and licenses
    are not available online for most products. Since the HSD and HSJ
    series require PCMCIA cards, and can not load code, they do not offer
    that software online.
