Using the license key file
With this method, you transfer the obtained license key file to MVS and use the Manage Licenses
panel to register the license. For details about the panel used for the following procedure, see the
HP XP P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software Reference Guide.
To use the license key file:
1. Create a license information dataset.
For details on the license information dataset attributes, see “Format for license information
datasets” (page 40). For details on license information dataset names, see “Naming for license
information datasets” (page 40).
2. Transfer the license key file to the host.
Perform file transfer from the license key file to the MVS dataset (called the license key dataset
) in the following format:
• ASCII mode
• Encoded (to EBCDIC)
Assign the following attributes to the license key dataset in which the license key file is stored:
• Dataset format: VB or FB sequential dataset
• Record length: 200 bytes or greater
• Block size: optional
• The file transfer destination is assumed to be a license key dataset named
BCM.LICENSE.KEYSFROM.HP.
3. Start Business Continuity Manager.
4. Display the Main Menu panel and select 2 Manage Licenses.
The Manage Licenses panel appears.
5. In the Manage Licenses panel, enter the license key dataset name
(BCM.LICENSE.KEYSFROM.HP) in the License Key Dataset Name field and press Enter.
The license keys are read from the license key file and are installed in the license information
dataset.
The YK9001I message is output if the license key is installed correctly.
