How add-on features work

Add-ons are features that are not included in the standard configuration of System Manager and require a key to enable. An add-on feature can be either a single premium feature or a bundled feature pack.

The following steps provide an overview for enabling a premium feature or feature pack:

  1. Obtain the following information:

    • Chassis serial number and the Feature Enable Identifier, which identify the storage array for the feature to be installed. These items are available in

      System Manager .

    • Feature Activation Code, which is available from the Support site when you purchase the feature.

  2. Obtain the feature key by contacting your storage provider or by accessing the Premium Feature Activation site. Provide the chassis serial number, Feature Enable Identifier, and Feature Activation Code.

  3. Using

    System Manager , enable the premium feature or feature pack using the feature key file.
