Three Server Redundancy Configuration

[vinoth_kumar]

hi, Can you please help us with three server redundancy license setup. We identified 3 servers and installed FlexLM 11.15.1 in it. But the servers wouldn't start properly if we import the license file. Attaching the license file for your reference. Can you please let me know if something wrong with the license file.

license file:

# This file created on 2/22/2019 3:36:06 AM by Gordon Wang

# shared by multiple license machines

Hi Vinoth,

Looking at your license file, I can see that you have not put the PRIMARY_IS_MASTER keyword on the first Server line, i.e.:

SERVER host1 27001 PRIMARY_IS_MASTER

SERVER host2 27001

SERVER host3 27001

Although this isn't a requirement, if you would like the 'dysaw12-ace1' server to be the primary server that starts first then I would recommend adding this keyword.

What error specifically are you receiving?

I would also recommend checking that the Host ID's in the license file are correct and match up with the server machines.

Regards,

Daniel Galloway

A few issues here need your help with:

(1) In above screen output, I can see all 3 servers showing " (MASTER) ".

Also in "lmadmin.log", I can see:

"LicenseEngine started without redundancy" 2019-04-17 11:51:20,717 root Version: 11.15.1.0 build 225330 (2018.03.08-10.56.10) 2019-04-17 11:51:20,717 root.

LicenseEngine started without redundancy. 2019-04-17 16:29:08,300 root.LicenseEngine stopped. 2019-04-17 18:07:49,055 root Version: 11.15.1.0 build 225330 (2018.03.08-10.56.10) 2019-04-17 18:07:49,055 root.

LicenseEngine started without redundancy. "PRIMARY_IS_MASTER" in the license file cannot assign primary node and make redundancy to work.

(2) Vendor daemon did not start. Please give us some ideas where to check for above issue.

Thanks.

Hi Brian,

Could you confirm if you started lmadmin on all the 3 systems and imported the license file on all 3 instances?

Also, could you confirm if you are setting the license path on all three systems? Use commas to separate the path. For ex: 2837@pat,2837@lee,2837@terry

Could you also try using IP address in the license files and rerun the test?

If nothing works, then share the VD log please.

Regards,

Abhay
