STORAGE

With the vxlicrep command, you can notice that the license for CDS is enabled for VxFS and not for VxVM.

-bash-5.1# vxlicrep |grep  -i sharing

CROSS-PLATFORM DATA SHARING     = Enabled

CROSS-PLATFORM DATA SHARING#VERITAS FILE SYSTEM= Enabled

VOLUME SHARING#VERITAS VOLUME MANAGER= Enabled

This issue exists only when keyless license is used.  CDS feature for VxVM exists when the perpetual STORAGE license key is used.

If the customer uses keyless STORAGE, the customer can upgrade to ENTERPRISE, while the import DG is performed on the target OS.

Once the import DG is complete, the customer can revert back to STORAGE.

>> When using the ENTERPRISE LICENSE KEY, CDS is enabled for VxVM 

-bash-5.1# vxkeyless set ENTERPRISE

Add: ENTERPRISE

Without any arguments, the vxdctl license command prints the list of features which are currently available based on known licensing information.

After changing  product levels with the vxkeyless command or the License option of the installer, run the vxdctl license init command to rescan the licenses and request  vxconfigd  to re-read any persistently stored license information.

Keyless license is part of InfoScale. VxVM for CDS, is expected to be enabled in STORAGE keyless key on the upcoming  8.0.2 Update 2 release .
