I can confirm you are correct, because we have a cold spare. The cold spare machine is running, but UV is not running on it. In the event of a failure of the active node, the cluster management software will start UV on the cold spare. Each machine requires a unique license to be installed, but IBM's policy was to only charge for one. I was instructed to go through the online license activation process on both servers and to enter a note in the comments section that the 2nd server was a cold spare. Based on recent posts, however, I'm not sure Rocket's licensing terms are the same. I'm assuming the license activation process is going to be the same as far as an installed key only working with 1 specific piece of hardware. The only question is if there's any charge for the 2nd key.

If the heartbeat is done inside of Universe, therefore requiring that Universe be running, it's considered "hot". -Mike _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
