8.3.6 Ordering license functions

An OEL is required for every DS6000 series. This license is for the total physical capacity of the entire DS6000 series, including the DS6800 and DS6000 expansion units. For example, if the total capacity of the DS6000 series is 30 TB, then you will purchase an OEL feature for 30 TB.

Should you increase your capacity in the future, for example, from 30 TB to 40 TB, by adding additional disk drives, you then must purchase an additional 10 TB of OEL features, to be able to use the additional capacity. This activation will be non-disruptive.

The other optional features, such as PTC, RMC and PAV, can use any combination of the features to cover the required capacity for the DS6000. For example, if the DS6000 has a capacity of 20 TB of data and only 5 TB of the data will be used for CKD storage, and only the
