Configuring clients to use redundant license servers

Steps to set up redundant license servers on a client using IBM Installation Manager

Redundant servers are a system of three servers that work together to manage a single pool of floating license keys. If one of the servers goes down, the other two license servers automatically continue to manage the license pool.

To specify the redundant license servers on a client:
  1. In the IBM Installation Manager, click File > Open > Manage License.
  2. Select a version of a package, and then select Configure Floating license support.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Ensure that Enable Floating license enforcement is selected.
  5. Configure the license server connections.

    For a redundant servers configuration, where three servers are used, type each host name in this format: hostname1, hostname2, hostname3, where hostname is the name of the server. For each port number, type accordingly: host1port#, host2port#, host3port#, where # is the port number.

  6. Click Next, and then click Finish.
