If you chose a served license model and do not plan to use an existing license server, you need to install a new one.
The Sybase IQ Server Installation DVD includes SySAM Network License Server utilities you can use to install a new license server. You must run a custom server installation to install a new license server. You do not need to run the license server on the same machine where you install the Sybase IQ server components.
Installing a new license server
Stop any servers currently running in the install directory before you run the installer.
Insert the Sybase IQ Server Product DVD into the drive.
If the Sybase IQ installer does not start automatically, mount the drive, then use this command to start the installer:
% <DVD_mount_directory>/setupHP-UXi64
On the Welcome screen, click Next.
Choose an installation directory, click Next.
Choose Evaluation as the product edition, click Next.
On the next screen, choose a location, then read and accept the license agreement. Click Next.
You must accept an appropriate license agreement to install Sybase IQ. You can review all available license agreements on the Sybase Web site.
Choose Custom as the installation type you want to perform, click Next.
Deselect all installation features except Sybase Software Asset Management.
Select both Sybase Software Asset Management features: Network License Server and Network License Utilities, click Next.
Review the installation summary, then click Install.
From a command prompt, copy the license file you saved from SPDC to the $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses directory on the network license server.
Change to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin , then refresh or restart the license server:
Use this command... |
To do this... |
|---|---|
sysam start |
Start the license server. Perform this step if the license server is not running. After you perform this step repeat step 2 to verify that the server is running. |
sysam reread |
Make the license server read the new license file. Perform this step if the license server is already started. |
Use the sysam status command to verify that the license server is running. If the server is running, you can expect to see output like this:
Starting the SYSAM service The SYSAM service is starting. The SYSAM service was started successfully. lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2006 Macrovision Europe Ltd. and/or Macrovision Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Flexible License Manager status on Wed 5/24/2006 15:04
License server status: 27000@mysysamserver License file(s) on <server name>: /opt/sybase/SYSAM_0/licenses/mysysamserver_603020315.lic
To verify your license, you can run the sp_iqlmconfig stored procedure in Interactive SQL (iqisql) or check the Sybase IQ error log and <dbname>.iqmsg file. To verify the license from a custom license installation, you can check the $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/log/SYBASE.log file.
In the error log, a line beginning with “Checked
out license...” indicates that the
license configuration is successful. If you see a “Sysam: FLEXnet
Licensing error:” message, check with
your Sybase representative to resolve the issue.
The SySAM License Server Installer installs both IPv4 only and IPv4/IPv6 dual stack License Server binaries during installation and configures use of IPv4 only binaries. You can use the SySAM script to configure the appropriate version of the license server: sysam configure [IPv6|IPv4].For example: sysam configure IPv6 will configure use of the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack binaries. For more information, see SySAM Users Guide.
If you have problems activating your license, see Appendix B, “Troubleshooting SySAM”.
