Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The system configuration is classified into maximum configuration, authorized configuration, and minimum configuration.

In maximum configuration, the maximum number of dynamic resource items are configured. Static resource items and function items are configured according to license configuration.
Authorization configuration means the functions and resources of the software configured on the basis of contract or special authorization. Authorized configuration depends on feature authorization of license files.
The minimum configuration is the default configuration when no activated license file exists in the system. The minimum configuration varies according to products.

Configurations are classified to limit the bearer capability of the system in different running status.

When you run the license emergency command to enable the emergency state for the license, the system is free from license control. In this case, the system can run with the maximum configuration of dynamic resources and the license-defined configuration of static resources and functions. When the validity period of the emergency state expires, dynamic resources are controlled by the license again. One version is provided with three validity periods of emergency state, each lasting for seven days.

The purpose for enabling the emergency state for the GTL license is disaster tolerance. If an earthquake takes place, for example, this mechanism protects users' services from being affected.

Precautions

The emergency state cannot be disabled manually.
The emergency state can only be enabled three times for each license, and the license can keep in emergency state for 7 days each time.
The next emergency state can be enabled only on the last day when the last emergency state expires.
After the emergency state is enabled, the device provides maximum number of resource control items contained in the loaded license. The device does not provide resource control items that are not contained in the loaded license even through the emergency state is enabled.
