Overview

The System Option Licenses are tied to the Host Computer Ethernet (eth0) MAC address. The NIC card can be exchanged, if one is reasonably certain that the Host Computer failure is not related to the NIC card. This will allow for the reuse of System Option Licenses, otherwise new Licenses must be obtained.

This procedure describes and illustrates the steps necessary to exchange (transfer) the NIC Card from an existing HP Z400 Host Computer to a new HP Z400 Host Computer.

note:

This procedure is used in conjunction with the GOC6.5 Host Computer Replacement Procedure.
