Installing a VCS license

The utility vxlicinst installs a new permanent license or updates a license.

You must have root privileges to use this utility. This utility must be run on each system in the cluster; the utility cannot install or update a license on remote nodes.

 To install a new license

• Run the following command on each node in the cluster:

# cd /opt/VRTS/bin

# ./vxlicinst -k XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX

 To update licensing information in a running cluster

1. Install the new license on each node in the cluster using the vxlicinst utility.
2. Update system-level licensing information on all nodes in the cluster:

# hasys -updatelic -all

You must update licensing information on all nodes before proceeding to the next step.

3. Update cluster-level licensing information:

# haclus -updatelic
