Running License Manager in the Cluster

To run the license manager in the cluster, you must run it on all the primary and secondary nodes. This does not require additional steps if $SYBASE is installed on the local file systems.

If $SYBASE is installed on the global file system, follow the steps below to run the license manager on all nodes using the same license.dat file.

Create the same alias in the /etc/hosts file for the respective physical hostnames of all the primary and secondary nodes.

For example, if node1 and node2 are the physical hostnames of the primary and secondary nodes, add an alias, such as license_host, for both nodes in their /etc/hosts files.

For example:
- On node1, /etc/hosts looks like:
```
10.22.98.43     node1   license_host
10.22.98.44     node2
```
- On node2, /etc/hosts looks like:
```
10.22.98.43     node1
10.22.98.44     node2    license_host
```
Edit the license.dat file in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/licenses or as specified by the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE.

Change the hostname in the SERVER line to the alias hostname defined in the /etc/hosts file. Following the above example, the SERVER line e changes from:
```
SERVER node1 any 1700
```
To:
```
SERVER license_host any 1700
```
