Licensing for unmanaged interconnects

You assign licenses to unmanaged interconnects by specifying the licensing intent for the interconnect from the Logical Enclosures > Edit dialog under Interconnect Bay Licensing.

You can also assign licenses to unmanaged interconnects using HPE OneView REST APIs.

  • If you remove an interconnect and then re-insert the same model, a license is automatically re-applied.

  • If you remove an interconnect and insert a different model, the license assigned to the bay is not automatically re-applied.

  • When you insert an unmanaged interconnect and the bay has no licensing intent (license setting specified in the logical enclosure), the intent defaults to No.

  • When you physically remove an unmanaged interconnect, the license is released back to the license pool.
