All PowerVault ML6000 library configurations ship with the purchased
number of slots pre-activated. The ML6010 CM (5U) and ML6020
CM(14U) library configurations ship with a minimum of 41* active slots,
and the ML6030 CM (23U) configuration ships with a minimum of 87*
active slots.
* A base license of 41 slots requires 520G or later library firmware.
After the initial purchase of your library, you can activate any remaining
inactive slots in your library by purchasing a COD license upgrade.
Upgrades are sold in 46-slot increments. For example, an ML6020 CM
could have 87 slots licensed at the time of the initial purchase (41 default
+ 46 purchased = 87). The remaining 46 slots of the ML6020 CM can be
activated at a later time by purchasing an upgrade. The full 133 slots
would then be available for use.
If you upgrade to more slots, your new license key contains the entire
license corresponding to your expanded slot count. The new license key
replaces your current license key. For more information on licensing, see
Obtaining and Installing a License Key on page 88.
It is possible to license more slots than are physically available in the
library. In that case, when 9U Library Expansion Modules are added, the
extra licensed slots then become available for use.
To see your library’s current configuration and slot availability, open the
Library Configuration Report (choose
Reports > Library Configuration
from the Web).
