HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share - Manual (Page 51)

Managing licenses 3–19
When you edit the
/var/flexlm/license.master
file, note the following rules:
• Do not remove or modify the lines that start with
SERVER
,
USE_SERVER
and
VENDOR
.
• To update a line starting with
INCREMENT
, insert or remove the line in its entirety. You must not
change any text on these lines. In particular, you must not change the number of licensed units,
specified in terabytes (TB). Doing so invalidates the license.
• An
INCREMENT
may be split across several lines. Use the backslash character (
\
) to indicate the
line break. Alternatively, you can remove line breaks. Generally, the system will tolerate line
breaks that have been introduced by email systems.
• All elements of the license file (including the
SIGN
information) must be exactly as they appear
in the license files from HP, otherwise the increments will not work.
2. Enter the
accept license
command on the administration server. You must perform this step to
reload the licenses into the license system. When prompted to accept the license terms, enter
yes
.
3. Copy the license files to the MDS server, as shown in the following example, where
south2
is the
MDS server.
# scp /var/flexlm/* south2:/var/flexlm
4. Enter the
show license
command on the MDS server.
3.11.4Licensing additional storage capacity to the system
When the system is first installed, it usually has enough license units to allow you to use the available storage
capacity of the system. However, it is possible to add additional storage capacity. You can configure the
additional storage but you will be unable to create or modify a file system that uses this additional storage
until you increase the number of licensed units.
When you purchase an additional license, you will receive a License-To-Use letter and a License File Request
Form from HP. These documents indicate the type of storage—enterprise (EVA4000) or capacity (SFS20)—
and the number of units (in terabytes) licensed. Use the procedure described here to obtain a license file
and install the license on your system.
1. Complete the License File Request Form, as follows:
a.
Determine the license host ID of the administration server by logging in to the administration
server and entering the following commands:
# sfsmgr
.
.
.
sfs> show license
.
.
.
The license host id of this server is 000bcd505cbb
b. Determine the license host ID of the MDS server by logging in to the MDS server and entering
the following commands:
# sfsmgr
.
.
.
sfs> show license
.
.
.
The license host id of this server is 000bcd827644
c. Enter the license host ID of the administration server and the MDS server on the License File
Request Form exactly as they are displayed by the
show license
command
2. Send the completed License File Request Form to HP (instructions are provided on the form).
On receipt of the License File Request Form, HP will send you a license file.
