managed node

3.7. Licensing

The product will not run without proper licensing on the CMS and each managed server.

Each of the systems needs to be registered via HP NonStop Performance

website

(http://www.HPNonStopPerformance.com/Registration/PEAgent/PE

Registration.asp). For

both Linux and NonStop agents, you must know the Serial Number of your system in order

to register.

To get the valid Serial Number of your Linux system, use the command $>'dmidecode'. You

will need use the root user to do this. Because the output of this command is huge, use a

grep command to filter out the system serial number (using the command $> dmidecode |

grep "Serial Number"). The Serial Number of your Linux system will be the first serial

number as shown in the example below.

e.g. Serial Number: HP9999999

Serial Number: HP7123NAX

Serial Number: Not Specified

For this example the system serial number is HP9999999.
