Installation Tasks
Installing PFE Keys
(Optional)
Follow the procedures in this section to install optional features using
PFE keys.
After purchasing a feature, you must obtain the PFE key by following
the enclosed instructions. The key is an alphanumeric string
consisting of uppercase and lowercase characters that must be
entered exactly, including dashes. An example format is:
XxXx-XXxX-xxXX-xX.
Keys are encoded to work only with the serial number of the installed
product. Note down the key. This will help you to re-install the
feature when required.
If the product fails and is replaced, obtain new PFE keys from the
technical support center (800-752-4572 or [e-mail]). You
will have to provide the serial numbers of the failed and replacement
products, and the old PFE key number or transaction code.
The optional features you can install using PFE-keys are listed below:
• Element Manager application - This feature enables out-of-band
product management through an Element Manager interface.
Products are delivered with the application enabled for a 31-day
grace period. Before grace period expiration, the application must
be reactivated through a PFE key.
• Flexport Technology - A Flexport Technology product is
delivered at a discount without all Fibre Channel ports enabled.
When additional port capacity is required, the remaining ports
are incrementally enabled through this feature.
• Full volatility - This feature ensures no Fibre Channel frames are
stored after the product is powered off or fails, and a memory
dump file (that possibly includes classified data frames) is not
included as part of the data collection procedure.
• N_Port ID virtualization - This feature allows up to 256 Fibre
Channel addresses to be assigned to an N_Port.
• OpenTrunking - This feature provides dynamic load balancing of
Fibre Channel traffic across multiple ISLs.
• SANtegrity (enhanced) - This feature enhances security in SANs
by combining the functions of SANtegrity authentication
(restricting access to Fibre Channel elements) and SANtegrity
binding (controlling large and mixed fabrics).
