Setting up Redundant License Server and License Balancing

Setting up Redundant License Servers

There are three aspects to setting up and using redundant license servers.

  1. First, you must decide how many redundant license servers to set up and select the computers on which they will reside. (You must define at least three; we recommend a maximum of five.) Various factors, including network performance, affect this decision. If you want the license servers to be locked to specific computers, you must give your vendor the locking code for each computer on which a redundant license server will be installed.
    Your vendor includes the computer locking code when defining the license code.

  2. You create the redundant license file, lservrlf, using the rlftool or Wrlftool utility (or by using WlmAdmin to call Wrlftool) to define the redundant license server pool.

  3. Then you bring up the redundant license servers. To maintain the pool, use the lspool and WlmAdmin utilities to dynamically reconfigure the redundant license server pool and set license token allocation.
