6.6 AlphaServer GS Series Systems
• Load the SMP licenses.
• Use the following command to verify that you have the correct number of
license units:
$ SHOW LICENSE /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS /CLUSTER
Note
The base OpenVMS license allows you to have only one interactive user
login per physical system (not per partition). (However, you can always
log in from OPA0: in each partition.) For additional interactive users, you
will require additional license units. See your HP support representative
to determine your needs.
2. Add your licenses to the common license database. For example:
$ LICENSE REGISTER license-name /ISSUER=DEC -
_$ /AUTHORIZATION=USA123456 -
_$ /PRODUCER=DEC -
_$ /UNITS=1050 -
_$ /AVAILABLITY=H -
_$ /OPTIONS=(NO_SHARE) -
_$ /CHECKSUM=2-BGON-IAMA-GNOL-AIKO
Note that you cannot use the /INCLUDE qualifier with the LICENSE
REGISTER command to override the NO_SHARE attribute of the license.
3. Modify the license to override the NO_SHARE attribute of the PAKs with the
command LICENSE REGISTER /INCLUDE=(node-name-list). For example:
$ LICENSE MODIFY OPENVMS-ALPHA /INCLUDE=(NODEA, NODEB, NODEC)
4. To make OpenVMS Alpha license units available to the instance of OpenVMS
running in each partition, you must ensure that SRM environment variable
SYS_SERIAL_NUM is the same in each partition. To do so, perform the
following steps:
a. From the master console of each partition (usually on console line 0), use
the SHOW SYS_SERIAL_NUM command to display the system serial
number. For example:
P00>>>
P00>>>SHOW SYS_SERIAL_NUM
sys_serial_num G2A105
If the value of SYS_SERIAL_NUM is blank, use the SHOW SYS_
SERIAL_NUM command from the master console in each of the other
partitions to check for a nonblank system serial number.
Note
If all partition consoles show a blank value for SYS_SERIAL_NUM,
you must create a nonzero value of up to 12 characters. Ensure that
the system serial number that you create is not used on any other
AlphaServer GS80/160/320 on this OpenVMS Cluster.
