DFM core license

Hi,

I installed a DFM core license, and the number of nodes shown is 1 (see below). I'm expecting 250. Is there something wrong with the license I got?

[root@netappdfm01 ~]# dfm license install xxxxx
Enabled Operations Manager license.
[root@netappdfm01 ~]# dfm license list
Feature License Code Serial # Nodes Expiration
---------------- -------------- ----------- ------ -----------
core xxxxx YYYY 1 18 Jan 2038

Thank you.

Hi Estella

Have a read here:

https://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/olio/guides/dfm/license.shtml

On the bottom it has a link to "suppress the node limit warnings".

Estella,

The linese key you are using is created for managing only 1 node, possibly you have a demo license. Try to get a new license which has limit of managing 250 nodes. Since you are a NetApp employee, you can obtain this from Netapp DFM internal teams or some other internal sites.

warm regards,

Abhishek
