A feature pack is a bundle that changes storage array attributes (for example, changing the protocol from Fibre Channel to iSCSI). Feature packs require a special key for enablement.
Before you begin
Attention: You must schedule a downtime maintenance window and stop all I/O operations between the host and controllers. In addition, be aware that you cannot access data on the storage array until you have successfully completed the conversion.
About this task
This task describes how to use
System Manager to enable a feature pack. When you are done, you must restart the storage array.
Procedure

Under Add-ons, select Change Feature Pack.
- Click Browse, and then select the key file.
The file name is displayed in the dialog box.
- Type CHANGE in the field.

The feature pack migration begins and the controllers reboot. Unwritten cache data is deleted, which ensures no I/O activity. Both controllers automatically reboot for the new feature pack to take effect. The storage array returns to a responsive state after the reboot is complete.
