Specifying redundant license servers

To specify the names of redundant license servers in a client’s License Key Administrator (LKAD):
  1. Create a file with the name server-info.txt in a text editor that contains the following line:

    PortAtHost:27000@redundant1,27000@redundant2, 27000@redundant3;

    where redundant1 is the name of the primary IBM Rational® License Server, redundant2 is the name of the secondary license server, and redundant3 is the name of the tertiary license server.

    When you type this line:

    • The license servers must be specified in the order of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary (Backup) server. For more information about redundant server order, see Setting up redundant license servers.
    • PortAtHost is case sensitive.
    • 27000 is the default port number.
    • Use commas in the series of redundant server names. The trailing semicolon is also required.
    • You can specify redundant servers and multiple servers in one file. Use commas between redundant servers and semicolons between servers.

      PortAtHost:27000@redundant1,27000@redundant2, 27000@redundant3;27001@server1;@server2;

      Or

      PortAtHost:27001@server1;27000@redundant1, 27000@redundant2,27000@redundant3;@server2;

  2. Save the file.
  3. If you are not using a silent installation, enter the following command: licadmin -fserver-info.txt

    The results of this command are written to the status file server-info.txt_STATUS in the same directory where you saved the file server-info.txt.
