Withdrawal of IBM marketing packages

Effective from 12 February 2008, IBM has withdrawn the following from marketing:
  • DS3200 Software Feature Pack (part-number 39R6540 (PLET ZG08-0241))
  • DS3300 Software Feature Pack (part-number 42C2142)
  • DS3400 Software Feature Pack (part-number 42C2143)
  • EXP3000 Expansion License (part-number 39R6537)

The functions of the withdrawn licensed features and options are now available to users at no additional charge. DS3200, DS3300 and DS3400 will include 4 storage partitions, attachment license for 1-3 EXP3000 expansion units, and Windows and Linux on Intel Host Attach License.

By including the Software Feature Pack and EXP3000 Expansion Unit licenses in the base products, storage capacity can be increased without buying additional licenses. This can help to lower the total cost of ownership and can help enable non-disruptive growth by not having to install the additional licenses.

The functions of the withdrawn licensed features and options are now available by downloading firmware (that includes these functions) at no additional charge (valid for all DS3000 controllers). Firmware must be at firmware level: v06.70.24.00 or later.
