Which license is required on the destination storage system when using NearStore Personality?

• A. It requires a NearStore license on the destination.
• B. It requires the nearstore_option license on the destination storage system.
• C. No extra license is required.
• D. A DataFort license is required.

Answer: (B)

Licensing for the feature is what gates its use. When you use NearStore Personality, the destination storage system must have the specific NearStore license enabled to activate that capability there. The correct license is nearstore_option; with this installed on the destination, the system is allowed to accept and manage NearStore data as part of the replication/personalization setup. Using a generic “NearStore license” or a DataFort license isn’t applicable, and saying no extra license is required isn’t accurate because the NearStore functionality is gated by the nearstore_option license.
