▼To Install a COD License

This procedure installs a COD license and, if headroom is enabled, decreases headroom to compensate for each new license. This automatic reduction in headroom is designed to avoid accidental abuse of headroom. You can increase headroom again manually after installing the COD license. See “To Increase or Decrease Headroom” on page 85.

1.Log in to the XSCF console with platadm privileges.

2.Type the addcodlicense command:

XSCF> addcodlicense license-signature

where license-signatureis the complete COD license key. For example:

XSCF> addcodlicense \

01:84000000:104:0301010100:3:00000000:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

3.Verify that the license key was added to the license database by typing the showcodlicense -rcommand.

The COD RTU license key that you added should be listed in the showcodlicense output. See “To Display COD License Status” on page 87.

▼To Delete a COD License

Before deleting a license, the XSCF firmware determines whether sufficient licenses are available from the pool of installed licenses plus headroom. If all licenses are in use and no headroom is available, the operation will fail. You can force the operation by using the -foption in Step 3, but doing so will overcommit any license reservations that might be in effect.

1.Log in to the XSCF console with platadm privileges.

2.Verify that you have enough licenses or headroom to cover COD resources currently in use.

Use the showcodlicense command, as described in “To Display COD License Status” on page 87. If you do not have sufficient licenses or headroom to compensate, power off one or more domains or disconnect the appropriate number of boards.

3.Type the deletecodlicense command:

XSCF> deletecodlicense license-signature
