UCS 6248UP Licensing

rjs

How will the 6248UP Fabric Interconnect ports be licensed?

Will ports configured as Fiber Channel also consume a port license?

Will the Expansion Module be fully licensed or will it share license with fixed ports?

Robert,

Are you sure about the 16-port GEM module having just 6 licenses? The docs say it adds 8 licenses, and that's what I've always been told.

The eight default licenses that come with a 6200  series  fabric interconnect expansion module can be used to enable ports  on the base module

I stand corrected.  I recall from earlier days it was originally 6, but that might have changed since the FCS release version.

Checking my 6248 I show "20" licenses, which makes sense since I have 12 base + 8 Expansion licenses:

Pod1-A /license # show usage

Thanks for keeping me honest!
