Hi @kumaran21 ,

That is a virtualization policy setting controlled by the software producer.  The producer can specify whether or not the server can be run in physical/virtual environments.

Best regards,

Jim

Thank you jberthold for the explanation.

Just to clarify, this is set in the vendor key?

VM_PLATFORMS=[PHYSICAL | VM_ONLY | VM_ALL]

Hi @kumaran21 Can you please check in  lsvendor.c, this can be achieved by setting the vendor daemon attribute "ls_allow_vm", mentioned under lsvendor.c.

/*

* Virtualization support for vendor daemon.

* VM_ONLY - Vendor Daemon can be operated in Virtual machine only

* PHYSICAL - Vendor Daemon can be operated in Physical machine only

*/

FLEX_VM_TYPE ls_allow_vm = VM_ALL;

 By default, the vendor daemon can operate in a virtual environment or on a physical machine.

To use the non-default values for the ls_allow_vm variable, you must have a set of vendor keys that provides for virtualization support.

 

PHYSICAL

Restricts the license server to run only on a physical machine; the license server cannot be

run in a virtual environment

VM_ONLY

Restricts the license server to run only in a supported virtual environment; the license

server cannot be run on a physical machine.

VM_ALL

Allows the license server to run on both physical and virtual environments

Check what is the value was set, and then update based on your requirement. Still, if you have any problem then let me know your vendor name, and let me check further.

Best Regards,
