Ports on Demand
Depending on the model, the SAN I/O Module ships with either 12 or 24 active ports.
With Dynamic Ports on Demand (DPOD), physical ports are licensed as they come online. In the
Base model port set, the first 12 ports reporting (on a first-come, first-served basis) on boot-up are
assigned licenses. In the Full and ENT model port sets, the first 24 ports reporting (on a first-come,
first-served basis) on boot-up are assigned licenses. These ports may be any combination of
external or internal Fibre Channel (FC) ports. After all licenses have been assigned, you can
manually move those licenses from one port to another.
NOTE
Ports 17 and 18 are prereserved for external/SAN connectivity.
•
Base model—Ships with 12 active ports. You can allocate an optional POD license to activate
the additional 12 ports.
•
Full model—Ships with 24 active ports. No additional POD license is needed.
•
