3. Creating an HDLM Environment
130
For a new installation, proceed to step 8.
7. If you are upgrading or re-installing HDLM, back up the HDLM settings.
If an upgrade installation or re-installation fails, AIX automatically uninstalls
HDLM, and the HDLM settings are deleted.
Perform this step so that a copy of the HDLM settings is available in this case.
If an upgrade installation or re-installation fails, perform a new installation, and
then re-execute setup to reflect the settings that have been backed up.
• Save the HDLM environment settings information.
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -sys >
any-file-name
Make sure that the license has not expired.
• Save the HDLM execution environment ODM settings.
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlmodmset -o > any-file-name
8. In the following cases, prepare the license key or the license key file:
• If you are installing HDLM for the first time
• If you are upgrading or re-installing HDLM after the licensing term has
expired
If the directory that contains the license key or the license key file is specified in
the installation information settings file, you can use any storage directory name
and file name.
The following shows examples of when the default storage directory specified in
the installation information settings file is to be used:
• When only the license key has been provided
Create the
/var/DLM directory, and then, in this directory, create the license
key file (
dlm.lic_key). The following shows an example when the license
key is
123456789ABCDEF:
# mkdir /var/DLM
# echo "123456789ABCDEF" > /var/DLM/dlm.lic_key
• When the license key file has been provided
Store the license key file directly under the
/var/tmp/ directory by using
the
hdlm_license name.
/var/tmp/hdlm_license
The license key file or license key is not deleted after the installation.
