a: HyperSnap for block and file services requires the same license. After importing the license file for the HyperSnap feature, a user can create snapshots for both block and file services. b: HyperReplication for block and file services requires the same license. After importing the license file for the HyperReplication feature, a user can create remote replications for both block and file services. |
As the OceanStor SystemReporter and OceanStor UltraPath are not deployed on a storage system, you cannot check them on the license management page of the storage system. To view purchased features, you can obtain the product authorization certificate from your dealer, which shows the purchased features.
Interoperability
You can go to Huawei Storage Interoperability Navigator and select components such as an operating system and multipathing software to obtain the interoperability information.
