NOTE: If the SSH session is lost for any reason during the upgrade process, this loss terminates the SSH session and also terminates the upgrade process that was running. If this SSH session loss occurs during an upgrade process and results in a terminated session, you should reboot the DR Series system and retry the system software upgrade process. system --license [--validate] [--add] Description Validates and installs the license for the external data storage you can add using the expansion shelf enclosures to the base DR Series system. The expansion shelf licenses are based on the size of the expansion shelves: 9 Terabytes (TB), 18 TB, or 27 TB. There are two ways that expansion shelf licenses can be purchased: point of sale (POS) and after point of sale (APOS). • POS licenses are those ordered from the factory with the DR Series system hardware appliance and the expansion shelf enclosures. • APOS licenses are those ordered later separately from Dell for new expansion shelves or for existing Dell MD1200 storage arrays intended for use as expansion shelf enclosures. NOTE: The 300 Gigabyte (GB) drive capacity (2.7 TB) version of the DR Series system does not support the addition of expansion shelf enclosures. There are two ways to obtain the expansion shelf enclosure license (license.xml): • By downloading the license file from the Dell Support website (support.dell.com/), in which you navigate to Drivers and Downloads for your system type, and use the service tag for your system. • By using an email link from Dell where the license file resides. Once you have located the license file for expansion shelf enclosure use WinSCP to copy it to the /store/license, which is a location known by the DR Series system software. NOTE: Each added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal drive slot capacity (0-11). Because 1 TB drives are the smallest one supported by the expansion shelf enclosure you add, the 600 Gigabyte (GB) DR Series systems need to use 1 TB or larger sized drives in any expansion shelf enclosure added to the base system. Syntax system --license --validate Result License file is valid and can be installed. To add a validated license for a data storage expansion shelf (enclosure), use the following DR Series system CLI command: system --license --add License file has successfully installed. 72

system --license [--validate] [--add]
Description
Validates and installs the license for the external data storage you can add using the expansion shelf enclosures to the
base DR Series system. The expansion shelf licenses are based on the size of the expansion shelves: 9 Terabytes (TB),
18 TB, or 27 TB. There are two ways that expansion shelf licenses can be purchased: point of sale (POS) and after point
of sale (APOS).
•
POS licenses are those ordered from the factory with the DR Series system hardware appliance and the
expansion shelf enclosures.
•
APOS licenses are those ordered later separately from Dell for new expansion shelves or for existing Dell
MD1200 storage arrays intended for use as expansion shelf enclosures.
NOTE:
The 300 Gigabyte (GB) drive capacity (2.7 TB) version of the DR Series system does not support the addition
of expansion shelf enclosures.
There are two ways to obtain the expansion shelf enclosure license (license.xml):
•
By downloading the license file from the Dell Support website (
support.dell.com/
), in which you navigate to
Drivers and Downloads
for your system type, and use the service tag for your system.
•
By using an email link from Dell where the license file resides.
Once you have located the license file for expansion shelf enclosure use WinSCP to copy it to the /store/license, which
is a location known by the DR Series system software.
NOTE:
Each added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal
drive slot capacity (0–11). Because 1 TB drives are the smallest one supported by the expansion shelf enclosure
you add, the 600 Gigabyte (GB) DR Series systems need to use 1 TB or larger sized drives in any expansion shelf
enclosure added to the base system.
Syntax
