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 on Windows.
    • 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.
