Loading Licenses On Two Machines Coupled In High Availability
When we have two machines already connected in HA, only the master is accessible using the HTTPS configuration interface.
To implement these steps you will need SSH and SCP clients for your operating system.
On Linux:
- Open a terminal: xterm, gnome-terminal or Konsole
- ssh – use to connect to Syneto
- scp – use to copy files to Syneto
On MacOS X:
- Open a terminal: Terminal.app or iTerm.app
- ssh – use to connect to Syneto
- scp – use to copy files to Syneto
On Windows XP or Vista:
- Download putty.exe from www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and save to Desktop – this will be used to connect to Syneto.
- Download and install WinSCP from winscp.net/eng/download.php- use this to copy files to Syneto.
To load licenses on the slave machine, you will have to follow these steps:
- Determine the HA Slave machine ID:
- ssh root@master
- ssh root@127.9.0.2 config firmware show | grep id
- Download licenses for the HA Slave from syneto.net. Do not forget to mark the machine as HA Slave when adding the ID or you will miss any discounts on HA licenses. Create a new folder and save all licenses there.
- Copy downloaded licenses to the HA Master:
- cd Slave_Licenses_Folder
- scp *.lic root@master:
- Connect to HA Master, copy licenses to HA Slave and load licenses on the Slave machine:
- ssh root@master
- scp *.lic root@127.9.0.2:
- ssh root@127.9.0.2 ‘for f in ~/*.lic do license_manager -a $f; done’
- ssh root@127.9.0.2 config file save
- Verify if licenses are loaded:
- ssh root@master:
- ssh root@127.9.0.2 license_manager -vi
