I suspect that even though the code does not match the code listed when I display the installed license on the switch, that the code listed on the netapp support site is not in fact the license code needed to install on the switch or for that matter the bundle license either.
Brocade License Keygen
The ICX6610-series switches ship by default with ports X1 through X8 at 1 Gbps. To upgrade them to 10 Gbps ports, you need to buy a license. Each license allows four ports to be upgraded. In our case, we want to run all eight ports at 10 Gbps, so we will have two licenses per switch.
To convert this into a loadable license file, you will need to get the switch's 'LID', then create an account on "My Brocade". You can then combine the LID and the TRANSACTION KEY and Brocade will email you the license key.
Note the LID number and which stack ID. In this case, I renamed the license files so that an-switch01_XXXXXXXXXXX.xml, where XXXXXXXXXXX is the switch's LID. In the example below, I will load two licenses, one for either switch in the stack.
After installing license files to upgrade the eight 1 Gbps SFP+ ports to run as 10 Gbps, we need to actually enable the ports. This may seem silly, but consider that the upgrades are sold in lots of 4-ports at a time. This step would allow you to specify which four ports were upgraded. In our case, we upgraded them all.
Call Brocade support (1-800-752-8061) and use the case number the switch was replaced under. Confirm with them the LID of the switch being replaced (the one that the license will be removed from) and the LID of the new/replacement switch.
With the switch being returned, there is no need to prove the old license is removed as you will be returning the switch. If you will NOT be returning the switch, then you will need to provide a show license before and after deleting the old license in order for the license to be reissued. This is a rare case and the Brocade technician will walk you through the process should it be required.
At this point, switch to the production switch (which ever isn't being replaced). Connect the newly flashed and licensed replacement switch and you should see the configuration automatically upload to the newly replaced switch.
Did you manage to somehow overcome this problem? I'm in exactly the same situation (new switches, trying to activate licenses, landing on the same page that doesn't work) Wonder if there's anything I could try before starting the tedious process of contacting IBM and/or Broadcom support.
The Brocade 6505 offers up to 24 ports (12 ports licensed by default; the remaining 12 ports can be licensed by purchasing a 12-port software license pack), and the Brocade 6510 offers up to 48 ports (24 ports licensed by default; the remaining ports can be licensed in 12-port increments). Brocade FC SAN switch ports support 2/4/8/16 Gbps speeds to deliver easy integration into the existing SAN environments while realizing the benefits of Gen 5 Fibre Channel connectivity. The switches offer a rich set of standard software features with the options to expand their capabilities as needed.
The Brocade 6505 comes standard with 12 licensed ports. The remaining 12 unlicensed ports can be activated by purchasing and installing the Brocade Ports on Demand (POD) software license pack. By default, ports 0 through 11 are enabled on the Brocade 6505. To enable ports 12 through 23, install a POD license key.
The Brocade 6510 comes standard with 24 licensed ports. The remaining 24 unlicensed ports can be activated in 12-port increments by purchasing and installing the Brocade Ports on Demand (POD) software license packs. By default, ports 0 through 23 are enabled on the Brocade 6510. To enable ports 24 through 35, install a POD license key. To enable ports 36 through 47, install another POD license.
To download and use the master license files in this guide on as many switches as you need, you simply need to change your license ID to match. Only the license code reads this value, so changing it has no negative effects.
We need to change the serial and license ID to match the new licenses. From the normal switch OS:enablehw pid-prom serial 2ax5o2jk68ehw pid-prom clear-sw-lidreloadThe switch will reboot, and when it comes back up it will have a new license ID and serial.
Once it's booted into the OS, ensure you are hosting the firmware ZIP contents via TFTP. Replace the IPs in the commands with the IP of your own TFTP server:enablecopy tftp license 192.168.1.8 ICX64xx/1-6450-prem.xml unit 1copy tftp license 192.168.1.8 ICX64xx/2-6450-ports.xml unit 1
Note: If the switch had other licenses on it beforehand, they will now show as invalid - this is expected as the serial no longer matches. If you ever decide to revert the switch, the original licenses will become active again once the serial is reverted to stock.
If you want to revert the switch to its original serial and license ID (for instance, if you sell it), that's quite easy. First, get the serial number from your switch. It should be on a sticker on the bottom of the unit. Then just use the commands we used earlier, but now using your actual serial. Make sure the capitalization matches what is on your switch!enablehw pid-prom serial YourSNherehw pid-prom clear-sw-lidreload
Once the switch reboots and has a new serial, you need to delete the licenses you loaded from this guide. Do not skip this! They will be invalid after changing the serial back.enable #if you had no previous licenses from before this guide:license delete unit 1 all#you're done#If you have previous licenses from before this guide you want to keep:#list the licenses:show license#now delete each of my licenses (they should be the ones showing invalid)#replace X with the number of the license in the list you want to delete:license delete unit 1 index X#once a license is deleted, the index number of remaining lics changes#run show license again before deleting more if you're deleting multipleIt now has the stock license ID and serial, and the licenses have been removed. The output of show license should be empty (unless you previously had licenses from before this guide, in which case they should now show valid).
This license replaces the Advanced Performance Monitor (APM) and Fabric Watch (FW) licenses. If you have the Fabric Vision license, you can use Advanced Performance Monitoring and Fabric Watch features without the APM and FW licenses.
The "aquilla" (when executed in metal) or "kero" (when made of wood) was the principal ritual libation vessel among the peoples of ancient Peru, Bolivia, and northern Chile. This distinctive vessel form has ancient origins but became particularly prevalent during the Early Intermediate Period (100 - 600 CE). This dynamic time witnessed socio-political intensification and an increase in the numbers of political elites throughout the Andes, with an interconnected multiplication of aristocratic ceremonial events that emphasized hierarchy and authority. The ritual consumption of "chicha" (maize beer), the mildly alcoholic beverage traditionally served in keros, was integral to these politically charged social events.These special drinking vessels often were made and used in pairs following the pan-Andean belief in reciprocity and communal sharing as a potent unifying principle of social practice. This silver pair (TL.2009.20.218 and TL.2009.20.219), which reportedly was excavated at the site of Huacho in the Chancay Valley, represents this key precept of Andean ideology. The Chancay elite maintained socio-political hierarchy, in part, by controlling the production and use of precious metal objects. Their tombs were furnished with gold and silver items as well as fine textiles woven with such elaborate techniques as brocade, gauze-weave, double-cloth, openwork fabrics, and painted cloth. Kero-like vessels are frequently depicted in scenes of ritual sacrifice, wherein they were used to contain sacrificial blood. The brimming vessel then was presented to the scene's key figure as a symbolic libation or was offered to the earth (equated with the creator deity Pacha Mama).
