When used in conjunction with an HCP or HCP for cloud scale system, HCP S Series Node storage must be covered by the HCP or HCP for cloud scale license. The license key must be installed on the HCP or HCP for cloud scale system. On the S Series Node, the license status is External. The installation of a license key on the S Series Node is not required.
Note: On a release 7.x HCP system that's using an S Series Node for storage, the HCP S Series Management Console reports that HCP cannot find license information for the S Series Node.
Important:
- The amount of storage used on an S Series Node is subject to the limit specified by the HCP or HCP for cloud scale license. The S Series Node will continue to function if this limit is exceeded but will be in violation of the license agreement.
- Use of an S Series Node as a standalone storage device is not supported and is a violation of the terms of sale.
If you have the administrator, monitor, or service role, you can use the HCP S Series Management Console or management API to view the license status.
