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.
