Cod License Purchase; License Installation - Sun Microsystems Sun SPARC Enterprise M3000 Administration Manual

COD License Purchase

The purchase of a COD RTU license entitles you to receive a license key, which
enables the appropriate number of COD processors. A license key can grant access
to multiple RTUs.
A COD license is assigned to a specific server, one license per processor (CPU). All
the licenses assigned to a server are handled as a floating pool of licenses for all the
COD processors installed on that server. For example, if you have a server with two
COD boards with four processors each, but you will only use six of those processors,
all you need is six licenses. Those six licenses can be used by all eight processors, but
only six at a time.
At least 50 license keys can be installed on a your server. A COD license has no
expiration date.
A COD license can be used by any COD processor on the server. However, the
license cannot be moved from one server to another. If COD processors are moved to
another server, the license becomes invalid.

License Installation

A license key is comprised of text lines, which can be added to the COD license
database. A single license key can grant access to multiple RTUs, as specified when
the key is generated.
After you purchase a license, you must install the license keys in the COD license
database. The license database is stored in nonvolatile memory on the Service
Processor. In a system with more than one Service Processor, failover of the COD
license database is supported. COD locks its license keys to the individual Chassis
HostID of the system.
Note – In case the license database is lost or corrupted, make sure you keep copies
of your licenses and license keys.
