Hi Dan Have you tried deleting the multi lic file and then restarting the service. We had a similar issue here and that resolved it.Kind Regards Alan D West
Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:35:31 -0500From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Server Group Floating Write License IssueTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear List We are trying to set up a Server Group. Below is our environment. We are running ARS 7.0.1 patch 3 on Sun Unix serverss with Solaris 9 with and Oracle 10. DB #1 and DB #2 are remote databases. In our development environment, the primary server is Server #1. In our production environment, the primary server is Server #2. We have another server that we are using for test, Server #3. It will be part of the production environment at the conclusion of our testing. We have different ar.conf files to point Server #3 to either the production or the development databases. Both Server #1 and server #2 are fully licensed with an AR Server and AR User Floating licenses. The floating licenses have been generated with the hostid for Server #1 in development and the hostid for Server #2 in production, each with a server group name of sg1. The license keys were also defined with SERVERGROUP=sg1 in the License Key Information field. Server #3 is fully licensed with an AR Server license key. When we first brought up Server #3 as part of the development environment using the ar.conf #1 file, we installed the same AR User Floating license key we have on Server #1. We checked the License Tab under the Server Information menu item in the Admin tool and saw 3 fixed write licenses and 5 floating write licenses corresponding to the license keys we had installed. We ran tests with users logging on to both machines. Each was able to see the data in the database. Each received warnings when the same records was being updated by moth. It appears to work as designed. After testing in the development environment, we shut down Server #3 and restarted it with the ar.conf file #2 to reflect the production environment. The server came up. According to the Server Group logs, Server #3 recognized it coming online and connecting to the Server Group. We still had the user floating license from Server #1 installed on Server #3. We deleted it and installed a key from Server #2. However, when we went to check the licenses in the license tab, it showed 3 fixed write licenses and 0 floating write licenses. We tried logging from both Server #2 and Server #3 with user floating licenses. We were able to work on Server #2 but only got a floating read licenses on Server #3. We tried several combination but never could get the floating write licenses to appear in the production environment. We then shut down Server #3 and restarted it with ar.conf file #1 to put it back into the development environment. But we saw the same results as in production. ARS is recognizing the server license but not the floating licenses. We have tried many difference combinations to get ARS to recognize the floating licenses but we have not been successful Has anyone had issues setting up a server group and floating write licenses and could not get the user licenses to connect? We feel we are overlooking something simple. But after a week of trial and error, we are no closer to solving this than when we started. Any ideas as to why the licenses are not connecting? Development Environment Production Environment Primary Server = Server #1 Primary Server = Server2 Database = DB #1 Database = DB #2 SERVERGROUP=sg1 SERVERGROUP=sg1 Test Server = Server 3 ar.conf for Development environment = ar.conf #1 ar.conf for Production environment = ar.conf #2 Dan Wangler, Team Lead, STARS Group Phone: 214-567-8304; email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Client/Server Services, IT Operations Texas Instruments, Inc. 6500 Chase Oaks Blvd., MS 8401 Plano, Texas, 75023 __Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ _________________________________________________________________ Play the Andrex Hello Softie Game & win great prizes http://www.thehellosoftiegame.co.uk _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
