HP Serviceguard for Linux Base Version 12.00.00 Release Notes, May 2014

NOTE: If you wish to upgrade from Base to Advanced or Enterprise license repeat steps from 1
to 4.
4.3 Validating the permanent license
IMPORTANT: Ensure that you validate the permanent license before the 90–day grace period
for the instant-on license expires.
To validate the permanent license:
1. Run the following command:
#cmgetlicense -f line
2. On successful renewal, the output of the command looks as follows:
#cmgetlicense -f line
node:node1|license_type=Base|license_count=1
node:node1|license_type=Base|license_valid_for_days=Indefinite
NOTE:
• If you install higher license than the one already installed on the system, the license on
the node is upgraded.
• If you have multiple license of the same type installed on the system, the cmgetlicense
—f line command displays the following output:
node:node1|license_type=Base|license_count=3
node:node1|license_type=Base|license_valid_for_days=Indefinite
5 Kernel errata
HP recommends you to update Red Hat Linux Server 5 or 6 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
to the latest kernel that has been certified by Hewlett-Packard for use with Serviceguard for Linux.
If you wish to use the new kernel errata, you can download it from http://rhn.redhat.com for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Server or from https://www.suse.com/ for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Alternatively, you can use an update service such as Yellowdog Updater Modified (YUM) for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 and Yet another Setup Tool (YaST) for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
11, an open source rpm package to update the servers after the operating systems have been
installed.
For more information about YUM and YaST, see the following:
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Deployment Guide at https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/
en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/.
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Deployment Guide at http://www.suse.com/documentation/
