fod command

This command displays licensing information for optional Lenovo Flex SystemCMM and I/O module Features on Demand features.

You can purchase activation keys to activate the Features on Demand features for your CMM and I/O modules, if your I/O modules support these features. For information about Features on Demand, see the Lenovo Features on Demand website.

Note: The CMM fod command does not support activation of Features on Demand features for compute nodes. If an optional management device, such as the Lenovo XClarity Administrator or Flex System Manager management server, is installed in the Lenovo Flex System chassis, you can activate the Features on Demand features for compute node firmware using the management device program. Depending on your compute node type, other methods are available for activating Features on Demand features for compute nodes. See the documentation for your compute node for information.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or fod command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the fod command.
