14) LICENSE SERVER
14.1) Can the lserv
License server
run on a different subnet than my Network Linda job?
You can run the
License server 'lserv'
process on a different subnet than your
Network Linda job by using the LSHOST
environment variable. Set
LSHOST
to the hostname of the node on which the lserv
license server is running.
eg: etenv LSHOST <hostname>
You can add this to your .login
or .cshrc
file.
When Ntsnet
starts a Network Linda job, it
needs to contact the lserv
license server to obtain the necessary
license tokens. Ntsnet
contacts lserv by first looking on the local
node, and then by sending a broadcast message on the _local_
subnet
. If the lserv
license server is on a different subnet
the broadcast message will fail. The 3rd method Ntsnet
uses to
contact lserv
, is by using the LSHOST
environment
variable. If LSHOST
is set to the hostname of the node on which
lserv
is running, Ntsnet
sends the license token
request directly to that node even if lserv
is on a different
subnet.
