A customer recently had a controller module failure on a FAS62xx system running clustered Data ONTAP 8.3.1. The controller module had been replaced last night and everything is working well but the customer noticed warnings concerning licensing on the console. The warnings say there is a grace period of 89 days remaining.
In this scenario, what should be done to solve this problem?
When a controller module is replaced in a NetApp FAS system running clustered Data ONTAP, the license keys are specific to the node and system serial number. Therefore, to resolve licensing issues after a module replacement, the previously used license keys should be applied to the new controller module using the appropriate commands. This action addresses the warning about the grace period and ensures that all licensed features continue to operate correctly.
I think D, see https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Systems/FAS_Systems/Are_there_any_problems_if_the_old_license_still_remains_even_after_installing_the_new_license_for_the_motherboard_replacement%3F
Correct answer is C. licenses is motherboard based. After replacing the motherboard, need replace the licenses.
