ONTAP 9.10.1 and later

Answer

  • In ONTAP 9.10.1 and later, the licensed capacity value displayed in the System Manager or CLI.
  • For “Capacity” licenses, the capacity value is determined based on the System’s total Storage Capacity.
  • At the point of sale, the system capacity is recorded in each capacity license record for the system.  For example, if a system is purchased with 10TB of storage capacity, all capacity-type licenses for that system will have a 10TB capacity limit.
  • If additional storage is purchased after the point of sale for a specific system serial number, it is recommended (but not required) that the user regenerate their capacity-based licenses and apply them to the system.  This enables the System Manager to display the new total license capacity value.
