Updating product licenses using vxlicinst

You can use the

vxlicinst

command to add the VCS license key on each node. If

you have VCS already installed and configured and you use a demo license, you
can replace the demo license.

See

“Replacing a VCS demo license with a permanent license”

on page 85.

To update product licenses

On each node, enter the license key using the command:

#

cd /opt/VRTS/bin

#

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

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

1

Make sure you have permissions to log in as root on each of the nodes in the
cluster.

2

Shut down VCS on all nodes in the cluster:

#

hastop -all -force

This command does not shut down any running applications.

3

Enter the permanent license key using the following command on each node:

#

cd /opt/VRTS/bin

#

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