Chapter 3 - Setting up Redundant License Servers and License Balancing
rlftool
Or, to modify an existing redundant license file, type:
rlftool -l redundant-license-file
You then see a menu that lists the rlftool options. Type the number of the option
you want to use and press Return. (At a minimum, you will want to use option 1
to create a new file, option 2 to add license servers to the pool, and then option 7
to add license codes.) To exit and save the file, type
12 and press Return.
For information on the rlftool options, see the descriptions in the next section.
Two options available when using rlftool in menu mode that are not available as
command-line options are:
• Preference Order - The first redundant license server in the pool to be
started is by default the leader. However, by setting the preference order,
you set the order in which the license servers will be elected the leader if
the leader goes down.
• View/Edit License - You can select an existing license to view, and may
change token allocations for that license.
