Port licensing on HPE BladeSystem C-Class enclosure Brocade SAN modules - 2

In our previous article about Port licensing on  HPE BladeSystem C-Class enclosure Brocade SAN modules, we saw releasing and reserving enclosure SAN module port licenses.

In this topic, we will show a scenario where we have to do few additional steps to make things working.

Port licensing on HPE BladeSystem C-Class enclosure Brocade SAN modules

Most of the time, when we deal with HPE C-Class blade enclosures, we either use CISCO or Brocade SAN interconnect modules in order to establish SAN connectivity. Enclosure will have 2 interconnect bays populated with SAN modules and generally we use 2 up-links from each SAN modules making it redundant. That is all with it's physical connectivity.

Considering the logical portion, we have to have PoD(port on demand) licenses available to activate any enclosure Bay as and when a server module is inserted or there will be a default 12 port license which is included in the base license.
