2.3. Obtaining the iSCSI Software License

A license file is required for each copy of the Chelsio iSCSI PDU Offload Target software

installed.

The license is tied to the selected Chelsio NIC present in the system. The license file will be

generated depending on your requirement for a Chelsio iSCSI Target.

2.3.1. Linux Requirements

To obtain an iSCSI license key file, which could be either a production or an evaluation version,

please follow the steps below.

1. Prepare License information file

A license information file is required for each license. Run the following command to obtain the

license information file:

[root@host]# chinfotool

The chinfotool scans and lists all the NICs in the system, and prompts the user to select one

NIC, to which the keyfile will be tied. At the end, it prints out a summary of the license file.

For the selected NIC, the following information is gathered:

PCI vendor ID

MAC address

Link speed

Privacy notice: The above information is used by Chelsio Communications strictly for iSCSI

license management. Chelsio Communications, Inc. does not share, sell, rent, or lease the

information to any third party.

Note

Only one NIC per system needs to be selected. As long as the selected NIC is in

the system, the Chelsio iSCSI software will work on any of the NICs in the

system.
