Before you install Replication Server, you must plan the type of SySAM license configuration you want to use. Depending on your configuration choice, you may also need to perform additional pre-installation tasks before installing Replication Server.
SySAM allows you to acquire a license using a local file or you can acquire a license from a network license server. See “Choosing a license model”, in Chapter 2 “Understanding Licensing Concepts and Models” of the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
There can only be one instance of a SySAM license server
running on a given machine. If you want to setup a SySAM 2.0 license
server on a machine that is already running a SySAM 1.0 license
server, the old license server must be migrated to 2.0. A migrated
license server can serve licenses for both SySAM 1.0 and SySAM 2.0
enabled products.
For instructions on migrating a license server, see Appendix F of the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
Installing a new license server
Mount the CD by running the following command:
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Launch the Sybase installer program by entering:
./setup
The Welcome Window displays. Click Next.
Accept the license agreement.
Enter or select the destination directory.
Select the custom installation.
Select only SySAM Network License Server for installation.
Unselect other components, to install the Net License Server only.
Click OK for the installer to install SySAM licensing tools.
Get the host ID for the machine on which the new license server will run. To get the host ID:
Go to $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/bin where $SYBASE is the Sybase installation directory and $SYBASE_SYSAM is the directory for SYSAM-2_0.
Enter:
./lmutil lmhostid
If your machine has multiple network adapters, lmutil
lmhostid returns host IDs associated with each adapter.
Choose one of the IDs. Avoid using IDs for removable network adapters.
Save the host ID to use at the Sybase Product Download Center.
Get the license you want to install. See Chapter 3 “Getting and Using Your License” of the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
Copy the license file in the licenses directory $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/licenses on the network license server machine.
Start the SySAM network license server:
Go to:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/bin
Enter:
sysam start
Validate that the license daemon is running by entering:
sysam status
