Installing Additional Licenses
Your VLS system may require any of the following licenses:
Capacity
when you have added capacity to the system's base capacity.
A VLS capacity license must be installed on the VLS when storage exceeds the base license.
If you are in a license violation state, all VLS read/write operations are disabled until either sufficient
licenses are installed to support the storage, or the excess storage is removed. When you have
cleared a license violation by installing an upgrade capacity license, the VLS read/write operations
are automatically enabled without requiring a reboot.
The base license on the node enables the storage that is part of the base SKU. The capacity bundle
includes the capacity license and the registration materials necessary for installing capacity licenses.
