5.3.6. Complete system restoration - DM3010H
Restore your system to full operation by restoring the Lenovo Storage
Encryption or Volume Encryption configurations (if necessary), and installing
licenses for the replacement controller, and returning the failed part to Lenovo,
as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the kit.
Step 1: Install licenses for the replacement controller in ONTAP
You must install new licenses for the replacement node if the impaired node was using ONTAP
features that require a standard (node-locked) license. For features with standard licenses, each
node in the cluster should have its own key for the feature.
About this task
Until you install license keys, features requiring standard licenses continue to be available to the
replacement node. However, if the impaired node was the only node in the cluster with a license for
the feature, no configuration changes to the feature are allowed. Also, using unlicensed features on
the node might put you out of compliance with your license agreement, so you should install the
replacement license key or keys on the replacement node as soon as possible.
Before you begin
The licenses keys must be in the correct format.
You have a 90-day grace period in which to install the license keys. After the grace period, all old
licenses are invalidated. After a valid license key is installed, you have 24 hours to install all of the
keys before the grace period ends.
Steps
1.
If you need to retrieve the license keys, obtain the replacement license keys on
Lenovo
Features on Demand. For details, refer to DM Series Premium Feature Key Procedure.
The new license keys that you require are automatically generated and sent to
the email address on file. If you fail to receive the email with the license keys
within 30 days, you should contact technical support.
2.
Install each license key:
system license add -license-code license-key, license-key...
3.
Remove the old licenses, if desired:
a.
Check for unused licenses:
license clean-up -unused -simulate
b.
If the list looks correct, remove the unused licenses:
license clean-up -unused
Step 2: Restore Storage and Volume Encryption functionality
For storage systems that you previously configured to use Storage or Volume Encryption, you must
perform additional steps to provide uninterrupted Encryption functionality. You can skip this task on
storage systems that do not have Storage or Volume Encryption enabled.
