Manage your Keystone subscriptions in the NetApp Console by enabling subscriptions for use with Cloud Volumes ONTAP and by requesting changes to the committed capacity for your subscription's service levels. Requesting additional capacity for a service level provides more storage for Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems.
NetApp Keystone is a flexible pay-as-you-grow subscription-based service that delivers a hybrid cloud experience for customers who prefer OpEx to CapEx or leasing.
Authorize your account
Before you can use and manage Keystone subscriptions in the Console, you need to contact NetApp to authorize your Console account with your Keystone subscriptions.
-
From the NetApp Console menu, select Governance > Licenses and subscriptions.
-
Select Keystone Subscriptions.
-
If you see the Welcome to NetApp Keystone page, send an email to the address listed on the page.
A NetApp representative will process your request by authorizing your account to access the subscriptions.

Come back to the Keystone Subscriptions tab to view your subscriptions.
Link a subscription
After NetApp authorizes your account, you can link Keystone subscriptions for use with Cloud Volumes ONTAP. This action enables users to select the subscription as the charging method for new Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems.

Your request creates a ticket in NetApp's system for processing.
