Configuring the DS-License Server
You must configure a Production DS-License Server to which the DS-System can connect to validate its license and determine how capacity is allocated.
You can also configure an Emergency DS-License Server as an alternate server that runs in parallel with the Production DS-License Server. If the DS-System cannot establish connectivity with the Production DS-License Server, the Emergency DS-License Server provides failover license authentication. For more information, see the DS-License Server User Guide.
To configure the DS-License Server:
1. On the Setup menu, click License Server.
2. Under Production DS-License Server, do the following:
a) In the License Server (IP/DNS) box, type the IP address or the DNS name of the Production DS-License Server.
b) In the TCP Port box, enter the TCP communication port the DS-System will use to communicate with the Production DS-License Server.
NOTE: Do not change the port number unless you have a specific requirement to do so.
c) In the Verification Interval box, enter the frequency (in minutes) at which the DS-System will verify it’s license with the Production DS-License Server.
3. Under Emergency License Server, do the following:
a) In the License Server (IP/DNS) box, type the IP address or the DNS name of the Emergency DS-License Server.
b) In the TCP Port box, enter the TCP communication port the DS-System will use to communicate with the Emergency DS-License Server.
NOTE: Do not change the port number unless you have a specific requirement to do so.
c) In the Failover Period box, enter the time (in minutes) that must elapse before the DS-System validates its license with the Emergency DS-License Server after the failure of the first verification with the Production License Server.
4. Click Update.
