Add Raid licensekey to a HP Smart Array P421
For a mass storage application we had to use HP smart array Raid 6 functionality. Usually we bought P812 card which come directly with the Raid 6 features. But those new server I didn’t check the quotation and our supplier shipped us a Smart Array P421 which required the Extend Pack to work with Raid 6.
So after ordering it and going through the various HP web site in order to get my license key, here’s how to add it using the CLI.
And it’s all done now you can create you RAID 6 array

Standard Features
RAID 6 (ADG)
RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding) protects against failure of any two drives. It requires a minimum of four drives. RAID 6 can tolerate two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss and is ideal for applications requiring large logical volumes.
RAID 60
RAID 60 (RAID 6+0) is a nested RAID method that uses RAID 0 block-level striping across multiple RAID 6 arrays with dual distributed parity. RAID 60 allows administrators to split the RAID storage across multiple external storage boxes. It requires a minimum of eight drives.
Advanced Capacity Expansion (ACE)
Advanced Capacity Expansion complements the conventional capacity expansion feature of Smart Array controllers by allowing customers to perform two new operations to either shrink or move existing arrays
The Shrink Array operation allows customers to remove drives from an existing array
The Move Array operation allows customers to transfer the contents of a disk array from one set of physical drives to a second set of physical drives.
Mirror Splitting and Recombining in Offline Mode
Split an array with one or more RAID 1 or RAID 1+0 logical drives into two identical, new arrays with RAID 0 logical drives.
Drive Erase
Erase physical disk or logical volume. Useful for the decommissioning, redeployment, or returning of hard drives.
VOD Performance Optimization
Video on demand (VOD) focused enhancements that improve performance while video streaming.
Dual Domain
Dual domain creates redundant pathways for external drives from servers to storage devices. The redundant paths created by these configurations reduce or eliminate single points of failure within the storage network.
