The base license on the node enables the storage that is part of the base SKU. The capacity
bundle includes the capacity license and the registration materials necessary for installing
capacity licenses.
NOTE:
Do not discard the registration materials included in the capacity bundle.

Deduplication:
A VLS deduplication license must be installed on the VLS before you can use the deduplication
feature. The number of deduplication licenses must match or exceed the number of capacity
licenses installed. After you install the deduplication licenses, the VLS system automatically
enables the deduplication feature for all supported backup types.
•
Replication:
A VLS replication license must be installed on the VLS before you can use deduplication-enabled
replication. Without the license, you may replicate whole backups across the LAN/WAN.
However, you need the replication license to replicate backups that have been deduplicated.
Deduplication-enabled replication requires one license per node on the target site.
•
Secure Erasure:
When you delete a cartridge, this feature overwrites deleted cartridge data with a specific
data pattern so the data cannot be recovered. This is comparable to tape shredding of physical
tapes. This only applies to firmware version 6.0 and higher.

iLO 3 Advanced
VLS nodes are shipped with the HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Standard feature for remote

Virtual Media and Remote Console.
