Redundant License Server Pool Utilities

Using lslic to Add Redundant Licenses
The lslic utility can be used to add non-redundant license codes to the license file
(lservrc) or redundant license codes to the redundant license file (lservrlf),
depending on which options are used. (For information on using lslic for non-
redundant license codes, see “lslic - Install/Delete a License Code” on page 84 of
“Chapter 5 - Administrator Commands.”)

license server is stopped and restarted; P = Permanent change to redundant license file, I = Informational
only, makes no changes)

c. Although Wrlftool and rlftool write the license token distribution to the redundant license file, this change cannot
be considered permanent because, using the token distribution in the redundant license file as a base, SentinelLM
continues to adjust token distribution to the optimum pattern based on real license use. You may turn borrowing off
after license server startup to make the distribution permanent.
