Is this a system where the hardware people had to “override” or “clone” the MAC address?

I 100% agree that the host id should not change on an upgrade, but 8.x and 9.1 use different code bases c/java, so it's possible that Java is making the equivalent call to the OS but getting a different value if there are multiple host ids....the best bet is to re-license with the new host id.

It was only when the ARS 9.1 upgrade was run did the hostid change. When I checked BMCs web site I can find the original license key and host id and the hostid is different from what is being shown on the Add/Remove license screen. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
