Environment

Problem



System has permanent keys, however in the messages file it is reporting:

WARNING V-365-1-1 This host is not entitled to run Veritas Storage Foundation/Veritas Cluster Server. As set forth in the End User License Agreement (EULA) you must complete one of the two options set forth below. To comply with this condition of the EULA and stop logging of this message, you have 0 days to either: - make this host managed by a Management Server (see http://go.symantec.com/sfhakeyless for details and free download), or - add a valid license key matching the functionality in use on this host using the command 'vxlicinst' and validate using the command 'vxkeyless set NONE'.


Environment



When checked in the VRTSexplorer vxlicrep command output keyless feature shows disabled.

 

If it is enabled, it shows as below,

 

vxlicrep_e| grep -i keyless

VXKEYLESS                           = Enabled

 

 


Cause



After adding valid license vxconfigd not able recognize new licenses


Solution

vxdctl license init

 


Supplemental Materials

Description

What does this command do?

vxdctl license [init]

 

Without any arguments, the vxdctl license  command prints  the  list  of features which are

currently available based on known licensing information.

 

With  the  init  argument  specified,  the  vxdctl license  init  command requests that vxconfigd re-read any persistently stored license  information. f  licenses  have  expired,  this  can  make some features unavailable.  If new licenses were added, but are not yet recognized by vxconfigd, this command forces vxconfigd to rescan the licenses,  and to make the new licenses available.

 

After you change product levels with the vxkeyless command  or  the  License option of the

installer, run the vxdctl license init command to rescan  the licenses.  If you do not run the

command, the VxVM information about licenses may be stale.
