Draft Document for Review December 5, 2019 4:33 pm 8456ch_Activate_License.fm 236  IBM DS8900F Architecture and Implementation GLYPH<SM590000> Epic (FC0964), VMware VAAI (FC0965): For clients who want to use the Epic healthcare  software or VMware vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI), these features must be  selected by the IBM marketing representative. For the VAAI XCOPY/Clone primitive, the  PTC (FlashCopy) license (in the CS bundle) is also needed. GLYPH<SM590000> IBM ProtecTIERfi indicator (FC0960), IBM SAN Volume Controller (FC0963), IBM  Storwize V7000 virtualization (FC0961), N series Gateway (FC0962) indicator: If the  DS8900F is used or virtualized behind any of these data deduplication or virtualization  devices or a NAS gateway, select the correct feature to indicate this device. GLYPH<SM590000> When installing the DS8950F Expansion Frame at distance from the base frame (=up to  20 m), use the FC1341 feature cabling option to make sure that adequate cabling is  provided. GLYPH<SM590000> The Front and rear door lock kit, FC1014, is another example for a feature that can be  ordered without an extra license key, and so are the various door options (Standard  FC1105/1107, Space Saver FC1106), the Top-exit bracket for fibre cables FC1401, or the  exemption from the Remote Code Load process FC0990. GLYPH<SM590000> Base Function (BF) license GLYPH<SM590000> Copy Services (CS) license GLYPH<SM590000> z-synergy Services (zsS) license 9.1.2 Licensing cost structure Copy Services license specifics For more information about these features, see the  IBM DS8900F Introduction and Planning  Guide , SC27-9560. For the three possible license bundles, the following general guidelines apply: The license needs to be equal to or greater than the total physical capacity of the storage  system. Select the full raw capacity and order the number of TBs to support the total  physical capacity of your storage system. The license can be equal to, less than, or more than the total physical capacity of the  storage system. You need to license the TBs that you actually use in copy relationships. The license can be equal to or less than the total physical capacity of the storage system,  but order less only if you have a mixed machine FB/Open and CKD/mainframe. You need  to license the full CKD/z raw capacity for zsS, that is, the physical capacity of all ranks that  will be formatted as CKD ranks. You can order the CS license to support the  total usable capacity  of all volumes that are  involved in one or more copy services functions. However, this sort of subcapacity licensing  (less than the total physical raw capacity) requires capacity monitoring and a steady remote  connection on the client side. Important:  With the CS license bundle, only order subcapacity licensing, which is less  than the total physical raw capacity, when a steady remote connection for the DS8000 is  available. By using a remote connection for call home, the CS license can be based on the usable  capacity of the volumes that will potentially be in CS relationships. This amount typically is  less than the total physical capacity.
