Licensing for managed interconnects

You assign licenses to managed interconnects by creating a Fibre Channel uplink set within the logical interconnect that specifies that interconnect.

  • If you remove an interconnect and then reinsert the same model, a license is automatically reapplied.

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

  • If licenses are available, they are automatically assigned to interconnect bays that contain managed interconnects.

  • When you physically remove a managed interconnect, the license remains assigned to the interconnect bay.

  • When you remove the last remaining Fibre Channel uplink set from a managed interconnect, the interconnect bay license is released back to the license pool.

  • The Synergy 32Gb FC Upgrade licenses are selected when the first Fiber Channel uplink set is created.
