System Provisioning

The majority of the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller's capacities and features are self provisioned at the ACLI. Initial system configuration consists of setting the system type and available features. These choices determine the feature groups that are available for use and the maximum session capacities available for certain features. The system provisions a set of default entitlements based on the software version, the hardware on which the software runs, and the product type that you choose.

Provisioning a New System

An uninitialized system does not have the product type set, nor does it have any features installed. A system that has legacy keyed licenses installed is considered an uninitialized system.

You may not enable features until the product type has been set. Use the setup product command to set the system product type and use the setup entitlements command to enable features.

Controlled Features

Certain features are enabled only by entering a license key in the system > license configuration element, and not through the setup entitlements command. Contact your sales representative for more information on purchasing these features.

The following controlled features are available:

Note:

Not all of the above controlled features are available on all platforms.

Provisioning a System with Existing Keyed Licenses

When changing the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller licensing technique from the legacy keyed licenses method to the self-provisioned method, be aware of the following:
  • After running setup product and setup entitlements, the system will be seeded with the existing licenses' functionality.
  • When the system is seeded with its previous functionality to the provisioned entitlements system, functionality may be changed with the setup entitlements command.
  • You may notice that there are fewer entitlements than there were keyed licenses. This is normal.
  • After setting up provisioned features, the show features command will still function to display the previously installed keyed entitlements.
