How do you add NLF licenses via command line? Customer has network access restricted, so SystemManager isn't an option.

are they just serial into it?

and ssh

seen this pop up a few times - few ways i've heard -
There is a curl method, but looks like a support case is required.

Can also open a non-techincal case to get the older style key (via NetApp SE, not sure if it'll work via partner?).

There is also an API method using /cluster/licensing/licenses https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMLP2882307/html/

Getting old style keys just kicks the problem down the road until the NLF licenses become required.

#

Given that the NLF is just a tiny text blob, CLI should be possible, since there are other things like ssh keys that let you add text blobs via CLI.

#

In this case I was able to work around the issue by getting a VM on the right subnet to get around the ACLs blocking SystemManager, but I'm sure other customers will run into it.

Hey @graceful silo , I’ve stuck this into our #1062049235681415168 forum, I agree with you. The cogs of code move slowly but hopefully we can get it in there

thanks, hopefully it makes it in before someone really needs it
