HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.0 Getting Started Guide

Starting the License Manager
To start License Manager, select Deploy→License Manager... from the top menu bar. This menu
selection will only be available if you have administrative rights on the CMS. Online help is available
to guide you through the use of License Manager.
The License Manager lists all the available license types from which you can choose to deploy.
Order for applying licenses — Windows CMS managed systems
For systems that will be managed by a CMS running Microsoft Windows, applying licenses in the
proper order will simplify the process and reduce errors. From the Windows CMS, apply licenses
to each managed system in the order shown for each system type:
HP BladeSystem c-Class ProLiant
blades
HP iLO Advanced1.
2. VCEM (enclosure license required for logical server
management of server blades)
3. Insight Control
4. Matrix OE
HP ProLiant ML/DL/SL servers HP iLO Advanced1.
2. Insight Control
3. Matrix OE
HP BladeSystem c-Class Integrity
Blades
VCEM (enclosure license required for logical server
management of server blades)
1.
2. Matrix OE
Scan for HP-UX licenses
From a CMS, use the “Scan for HP-UX Licenses” task to perform the following functions:
• Enable the HP Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX licenses that are included in the HP-UX
Operating Environments.
• Migrate unused licenses that were purchased for release 3.x or earlier of the VSE Management
Software to the HP SIM License Manager database and apply them to your managed systems
(if permitted by your licensing agreement with HP).
To launch this task from the License Manager, click Scan for HP-UX Licenses... on the last “Deploy:
HP Matrix OE for Integrity Licenses” screen. On the “Task Confirmation” screen, click Run Now.
Online help is available to guide you through the operation.
This task scans for licenses for any VSE Management Software for Integrity LTU that is installed on
the managed systems. It is not restricted to the type of license that was originally selected in License
Manager. It will only discover licenses on HP-UX systems, even if other types of systems were
included in the License Manager system selection. For more information about scanning for HP-UX
licenses and migrating unused licenses from earlier software versions, see vselicense(1M) (page 47).
License requirements for systems with HP Instant Capacity products
For systems using HP Instant Capacity products (including iCAP, GiCAP, and TiCAP), the total
number of licenses assigned across all nPartitions within the complex (or across multiple complexes
when using GiCAP) must be equal to or greater than the total number of processors that you have
purchased.
Using the CMS password reconfigure tool
The HP SIM field tools provide a command that enables you to quickly change passwords for a
large number of licensed systems at once. For information on the Systems Insight Manager field
tools and how to use them with the Matrix Operating Environment, see the HP Systems Insight
Manager User Guide at http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs.
