Hello,

We are considering getting some used netapps equipment. I am mostly concerned with the pitfalls of licensing and would be grateful for any pointers.

Specifically we are currently looking at a FAS270. We want to connect it via fibre channel to a FC switch and then two FC HBAs on different hosts. I do not want to end up with a door stop product and therefore I would like to know if:

Will I have any problems resetting any existing passwords that might exist on the filer?
Is the license required to access the filer via fibre channel optional or will any licensed filer support it?

Thanks.
