ENABLEMENT OF LICENSED FEATURES AT A LOGICAL VOLUME LEVEL OF GRANULARITY

A licensing application implemented in a computational device receives a request to enable a feature for a logical volume of a plurality of logical volumes controlled by the computational device, wherein each feature of a plurality of features is configurable to be enabled or disabled for one or mor...

Zusammenfassung:A licensing application implemented in a computational device receives a request to enable a feature for a logical volume of a plurality of logical volumes controlled by the computational device, wherein each feature of a plurality of features is configurable to be enabled or disabled for one or more logical volumes of the plurality of logical volumes. The licensing application determines, whether enabling the feature for the logical volume causes a licensed capacity limit for the feature to be exceeded. Enabling the feature for the logical volume is avoided, in response to determining that enabling the feature for the logical volume causes the licensed capacity limit for the feature to be exceeded.
