Replacing a VCS demo license with a permanent license
When a VCS demonstration key license expires, you can replace it with a permanent license using the vxlicinst(1)
program.
To replace a demo key
-
Make sure you have permissions to log in as root on each of the nodes in the cluster.
-
Shut down VCS on all nodes in the cluster:
# hastop -all -force
This does not shut down any running applications.
-
Enter the permanent license key using the following command on each node:
# cd /opt/VRTS/bin
# ./vxlicinst -k
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX
-
Make sure demo licenses are replaced on all cluster nodes before starting VCS.
-
Start VCS on each node:
# hastart
