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.
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.
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.
Before setting up the redundant license server pool we recommend you to be well aware of the following:
