Customizing License Server Configuration

When you install the SRC software and a license for its use, the installation creates a basic configuration for the license server. You can customize this configuration to specify directory and file information required by the license server, tune the notification thresholds for warnings and alarms, tune session settings, and specify an SNMP host and e-mail account to receive notification of warnings and alarms.

The license server properties are located by default in l=config, l=LICSVR, ou=staticConfiguration, o=Management, o=umc.

To use SDX Configuration Editor to configure SAE properties for the license server:

  1. In the navigation pane, select a project, then LICSVR, and click config.xml.
  2. In the content pane, select the License Server tab.

The License Server tab appears in the content pane.

  1. In the License Server tab, expand each section to change the configuration for the license server. See:

Alarm Fields

The license server provides notifications when licensing thresholds are exceeded. Table 10 describes the conditions that prompt a warning or an alarm.




Table 10: SNMP Warnings and Alarms  
Condition
Notification to SNMP Agent

Number of licenses in use exceeds a user-defined threshold.

Minor warning SNMP trap

License reaches its expiration date.

saeUserLicenseExpiry warning SNMP event trap

Number of service sessions exceeds the number available.

saeServiceSessionLicense warning SNMP event trap

Number of licenses in use reaches the license limit.

Major warning SNMP trap

Major alarm state continues for 1 week.

Escalation to critical

The license server continues to run during a critical alarm state but denies all requests for licenses. The license server clears the alarm when the alarm is no longer active.

You can configure the license server to send warnings and alarms, and can configure an SNMP host to receive the warnings and alarms. Note that the SAE SNMP agent takes no action when it receives any of these traps. You must determine appropriate measures to resolve these warning states.

For information about traps, see SRC-PE Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide, Chapter 10, Understanding Traps.

Use the alarm configuration to define the threshold at which an alarm is generated and how system administrators are notified of the alarms.

Alarm Threshold

Report Server

Email Server

Email Account

ORB Configuration Property File Field

Use the CORBA configuration to define the location of the property file for the object request broker (ORB).

License Server Repository Fields

Use the License Server Repository configuration to set the directory access information for the license server.

LDAP Server Address

If this value is removed while the license server is running, the server rejects licensing requests. After a new value is entered and the license server connects to the LDAP server, the license server accepts license requests again.

License Server Engine Fields

Use the License Server Engine configuration to set general properties for the license server.

Service Session Unit Size
