QLogic - Enable 8gb option on blade for 9000 FC switch

Robert Leong -

This came up on a batch of 9200 blades received, they show up as 4gb only and reports the 8gb is not licensed.

Below is the excerpt of the ticket (70067778) to fix it.

Hi Robert,


I am happy to report we finally have a solution for you. The good news is, you will only need to access the switches and use the "feature add" command. Feature add requires admin; use the admin start command for this. 

Please use the following license keys to modify your modules. You will need to run the command on the appropriate switch. Match the serial number included below, with the serial number reported by your IO Module:

Switch Type: SB9000 - 8G Key for the FC8G16 blade Serial Number: 1139E00017
Key: 40000000-LCAXBK/UXEFAY-1139E00017 

Switch Type: SB9000 - 8G Key for the FC8G16 blade Serial Number: 1139E00025
Key: 40000000-LC88EJXABUMCY-1139E00025 

Switch Type: SB9000 - 8G Key for the FC8G16 blade Serial Number: 1139E00010
Key: 40000000-LCFPCAGH2CBJ2-1139E00010 

Switch Type: SB9000 - 8G Key for the FC8G16 blade Serial Number: 1139E00020
Key: 40000000-LCNUHW3CJGQ/2-1139E00020

Thanks for your patience through all of this. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Chris

P.S. Here is a breakdown of your Serial Numbers by chassis:
SW1 Chassis: 1137E00123
IO0: 1139E00017
IO1: 1139E00025

SW2 Chassis: 1137E00119
IO0: 1139E00010
IO1: 1139E00020

Hello Robert,

Please attempt to issue the following commands in CLI

admin start
config edit
set config blade <ioX>

See if this will allow you to force set the blade to 8Gb. Please provide an update with the results.

Thank You

Hi Tameka,

1)
Two QL9200 with two 8Gb 16 port blades each. The ports are only able to go up to 4Gb, CLI reports not licensed for 8Gb usage.

Can you give me licenses to enable the 8Gb please, we are on a limited time window, can we have them tonight?

Two support dump files are attached.
