Three Server Redundancy Questions

Jump to solution

Hi, Team

We are planning to move the three server redundancy model for ensuring availability, in this regard, we have few questions:
1. Our license manager hosts will be on a virtualized platform, which is the best hostid to consider? Can all the 3 hosts have same host id?
2. Can both Installshield & Installanywhere licenses be served by single vendor daemon: mvsn?
3. What would be the ideal HEARTBEAT duration for an environment with heavy traffic?

Thanks

Answering keeping in mind the FNP kit:
1. Our license manager hosts will be on a virtualized platform, which is the best hostid to consider? Can all the 3 hosts have same host id?
-> EthernetID or VMUUID should help for a Virtual platform. Also, all 3 hostid cannot be the same.
2. Can both Installshield & Installanywhere licenses be served by single vendor daemon: mvsn?
-> Considering the kits are built with the same keys the single vendor should be able to serve both IA and IS.
3. What would be the ideal HEARTBEAT duration for an environment with heavy traffic?
-> This is completely subjective to your latency and network configuration. You might have to test and set a value.

Please confirm if the requirement is for IA/IS so that it can be moved to the respective forum.

Hi

This is majorly related to the topic 'Ensuring License Availability with FnP', So I think FnP forum is appropriate.

Thanks
