network performance, affect this decision. If you want the license serv-
ers 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 Wrlf-
tool 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.
Tips and Recommendations
The following sections contain information you should be aware of before set-
ting up the redundant license server pool.
Use Fixed IP Addresses
Each computer on which a redundant license server resides must have a fixed
IPX address. Therefore, do not use DHCP to dynamically allocate IP addresses
for those computers.
Using fixed IP addresses for client computers will also increase SentinelLM per-
formance.
User Privileges Required
Setting up redundant servers requires you have access privileges to all computers
and areas of the network on which license servers will be installed. If you make
changes to the redundant license file, those changes will not be distributed to all
license servers in the redundant license server pool unless you have network and
write access to each of the redundant license server computers.
