License Violations

A license violation occurs if more resources are in use than are currently licensed on the server. These events can cause a license violation:

■The license database is lost or corrupted while the system is running. This state is detected on the subsequent reboot.

This situation can be remedied by reentering the missing license keys, using the addcodlicense command.

■You delete COD licenses with the force option (deletecodlicense -f)while the server is still using those licenses.

This could be a valid action in certain cases. For example, you might want to delete unwanted COD licenses, but want to delay shutting down the domain.

■You disable headroom while the server is still using those resources.

Once the system detects a license violation, the Service Processor will post a notice on the server console and ensure that no additional COD resources are brought online until the violation is corrected. In the meantime, it will not shut down domains or COD resources.
