DS6000 Series: Concepts and Architecture

The user must order an operating environment license (OEL) feature, the IBM TotalStorage 
DS Operating Environment, for every DS6000 series. The operating environment model and 
features establish the extent of IBM authorization for the use of the IBM TotalStorage DS 
Operating Environment. The OEL licenses the operating environment and is based on the 
total physical capacity of the storage unit (DS6800 plus any DS6000 expansion enclosures). 
It authorizes you to use the model configuration at a given capacity level.

Once the OEL has been activated for the storage unit, you can configure the storage unit. 
Activating the OEL means that you have obtained the feature activation key from the IBM disk 
storage feature activation (DSFA) Web site and entered it into the DS Storage Manager. The 
feature activation process is discussed in more detail in 8.3.7, “Disk storage feature 
activation” on page 137.

Table 8-1 provides the feature codes for the operating environment licenses for the DS6000 
series.

Licensed functions are activated and enforced within a defined license scope. License scope 
refers to the following types of storage, and types of servers with which the function can be 
used:

򐂰

Fixed block (FB) - The function can only be used with data from Fibre Channel-attached 
servers.

򐂰

Count key data (CKD) - The function can only be used with data from FICON-attached 
servers.

򐂰

Both FB and CKD (ALL) - The function can be used with data from all attached servers.

Some licensed functions have multiple license scope options, while other functions have only 
a single license scope.

Table 8-2 provides the license scope options for each licensed function.
