What is operations_manager license in Ontap

[lovik_netapp]

Does someone know what operations manager license in ontap is and what is the benefit of that? As we are already having operations manager running in our infrastructure and it’s monitoring all the filers then why do we need to have additional license in each storage box?

Hi Lovik,

     The Ops-Mgr license in filers are part of the future change in licensing that the product management is planning.

Currently you wouldn't need to have additional license in each storage box.

Hello,

The operations_manager license in ONTAP is still there today. Is there any change in the licensing yet? To my knowledge it is not used yet, is this correct?

It still very much remains the same.

do you mean that as long as I have licensed the dfm server for ops manager and protection manager, provision mgr I do not need to license the storage system itself?

because when i go to the storage system itself and type license it shows ops manager, prov mgr, etc is not licensed. but dfm server already sees the systems in dfm

Hi

Thats right, there is no change and no need for license on the storage system to be monitored in a dfm server.
