Licenses from previous versions of the software and licenses included in the HP-UX VSE or DC Operating Environments are automatically migrated to the License Manager database if they were previously in use (the license had already been installed and scanned). If these licenses were never installed or have not yet been scanned, you may be able to migrate them to License Manager database using vselicense (see “Migrating previously unused licenses” below).

Correcting the number of licensed cores or sockets

Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity products are licensed per core or socket on managed HP Integrity and HP 9000 systems. When licenses from a previous release or from the HP-UX Operating Environments are migrated to the current version, the number of cores or sockets on the managed system is determined via a WBEM query. The value returned is used as the number of licenses assigned to that system. If the WBEM query is unsuccessful at determining the correct number, one license is assigned.

You are responsible for verifying that the correct number of licenses are applied to your managed systems, based on the number of cores or sockets in use. In order to remain in compliance with your End User Licensing Agreement, you may need to correct the count assigned during the license migration process. To correct the count assigned during migration, enter the following command on the CMS:

vselicense -m -c count -n sys

where count is the correct number of per-core or per-socket licenses to assign for system sys.

Migrating previously unused licenses

If permitted by your licensing agreement with HP, unused licenses that were purchased for an earlier release but have not yet been installed or scanned can be migrated to the License Manager database and applied to a managed system by the vselicense command, using the following procedures. These procedures should also be used to enable the LTUs included with the HP-UX VSE or DC Operating Environments.

To scan for HP-UX LTUs to migrate and apply, follow these steps (this scan can also be performed by the Insight managed system setup wizard and from the Insight Dynamics GUI):

1.Install the HP-UX LTUs that have unused licenses, or install the VSE or DC Operating Environment, on the managed system.

2.Establish common WBEM credentials for communication between the CMS and the managed systems, or configure SSH for use in HP SIM. In previous versions of the software, SSH was required in order to scan for HP-UX LTUs. Starting with Insight Dynamics 6.0, this scan will now be attempted using WBEM. SSH will only be used if scanning via WBEM fails. For information about configuring WBEM credentials and SSH, see the HP Insight Dynamics 6.2 Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide.

It is also possible to scan for the gWLM LTU (T2762AA) by communicating directly with the gWLM agent if it is running on the managed system. However, this will provide no information about the other LTUs. To perform this type of scan, use the -gor --gwlmoption.

NOTE: The gWLM scanning option is only supported for gWLM agent versions earlier than version 4.0.

3.Execute one of the following commands on the CMS (note that multiple -nsys options can be specified):

•Scan for T2786AC, T2784AC, T2782AC, and T2762AA LTUs using WBEM or SSH: vselicense -m -n sys

•Scan for T2762AA LTU by communicating with the running gWLM agent: vselicense -m -g -n sys
