That is very cool - I didn't know you could do that! So, if I had 100x 7005 controllers and I wanted to collapse their capacity into a single 7240 controller, I can do that? Is there a 'license reclamation' command or something that I do on the 100 units to decommission them or something? I see there is a command for re-hosting licenses in an RMA situation, but it's unclear that this is supported between platforms of differing capacities... Has anyone done this that can share their experiences? -Sam
