Dear Joe Landman, The only issues that I have seen with Flexlm involve using a server that has with multiple ethernet cards.
The lmhostid is the "default" mac address, but making changes to the server (new OS, changing network cards ) has changed the "default" eth0 definition at times. I have had eth0 and eth1 "change" identities as I patch the OS or add ethernet cards. It has never happened without cause, eventho unexpected at the software change. ------ Sincerely, Tom Pierce Joe Landman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/22/2007 07:57 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Toon Knapen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc beowulf@beowulf.org Subject Re: [Beowulf] question for licensed software users Toon Knapen wrote: > What kind of problems: developing using FlexLm or deploying an app which > needs to talk to a flexlm-server ? flexlm server suddenly and inexplicably switching its lmhostid. After a reboot. Renders all licenses unusable. This happened recently at two customers sites. One was a windows license server, one was a linux license server. Restarting the boxes didn't help. Restarting the daemon didn't help. Looking at the license files didn't indicate an expiration. The logs didn't indicate this either. It just appeared (in the logs) that the thing stopped believing it was server 1 (the lmhostid is a mac address BTW), and suddenly started believing it was a server 2 (well, it took the other mac address as its lmhostid). Very annoying. Have seen this on multiple boxes over the past few years, ones we haven't touched as well as ones we try to "fix" (e.g. alter the setup so that the flexlm daemon will in fact run correctly). This impacts multiple vendor products BTW. -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics LLC, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web : http://www.scalableinformatics.com http://jackrabbit.scalableinformatics.com phone: +1 734 786 8423 fax : +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
