Downloading Licenses to the Fabric Interconnect from the Local File System
In a cluster setup, we recommend that you download and install licenses to both fabric interconnects in
matching pairs. An individual license is only downloaded to the fabric interconnect that is used to initiate
the download.
Note
Before You Begin
Obtain the required licenses from Cisco.
Procedure
Step 1
In the Navigation pane, click the Admin tab.
Step 2
On the Admin tab, expand All > License Management.
Step 3
Click the node for the fabric interconnect to which you want to download the license.
Step 4
In the Work pane, click the Download Tasks tab.
Step 5
Click Download License.
Step 6
In the Download License dialog box, click the Local File System radio button in the Location of the Image
File field.
Step 7
In the Filename field, type the full path and and name of the license file.
If you do not know the exact path to the folder where the license file is located, click Browse and navigate
to the file.
Step 8
Click OK.
Cisco UCS Manager GUI begins downloading the license to the fabric interconnect.
Step 9
(Optional) Monitor the status of the download on the Download Tasks tab.
If Cisco UCS Manager reports that the bootflash is out of space, delete obsolete bundles on the
Packages tab to free up space. To view the available space in bootflash, navigate to the fabric
interconnect on the Equipment tab and expand the Local Storage Information area on the General
tab.
Note
Step 10
Repeat this task until all the required licenses have been downloaded to the fabric interconnect.
What to Do Next
After all of the download tasks have completed, install the licenses.
