Creating Advanced Configurations
6 Start the license manager on each system in the redundant configuration
and wait for the license manager daemons on the three systems to
synchronize with each other. This may take a few minutes.
If, for some reason, the license manager daemons do not connect, take the
daemons down on each machine, and rerun the procedure. Network traffic
can affect synchronization, so it may require several attempts to establish
a proper connection.
7 Set up the client systems that access the redundant servers.
To ensure that client systems can switch servers in the event of a failure,
you must create an environment variable named MLM_LICENSE_FILE on
each client system. FLEXnet reads this environment variable to determine
which License Files to use. On client systems, specify the host name and
port for all the servers in the redundant configuration. Use a semicolon to
separate the names.
For example:
port@server1;port@S6rver2;port@s6rver3
Altematively, you can specify the License files when you start MATLAB
on a client, using the -c option with the matlab command. To do this,
right-click on the MATLAB icon on the desktop and choose Properties.
In the Target field of the Properties dialog box, add the - c option to the
command.
For example:
matiabroot\bin\win32\matlab.exe -c port&serverl;port&server2;port&server3
where matlabroot represents your MATLAB installation folder.
