Migration Process
The process of migrating trusted storage from the SA to the LLS with the preservation of the current license-distribution state consists of these phases:
Pre-Migration Tasks
The license administrator at the customer enterprise and the producer must perform the following tasks prior to the migration of trusted storage to enable the LLS to recover the license-distribution data from the SA.
|
•
|
The producer ensures that the SA configuration has synchronization to the back office enabled. One of these properties in server_properties.c must be set to true: |
|
•
|
FNE_SERVER_SYNC_TO_FNO_ENABLED (for online synchronization) |
|
•
|
FNE_SERVER_SYNC_TO_FNO_OFFLINE_ENABLED (for offline synchronization). |
|
•
|
The producer ensures that the producer-settings.xml file distributed with the LLS includes the following: |
|
•
|
The lfs.syncFrom.enabled must be set to true to enable synchronization from the back office to recover license-distribution data. |
|
•
|
The new server.syncCompatibility setting must be set to true to enable proper conversion of time units used for timestamps in synchronization from the back office during migration (and in all synchronization operations to and from the back office that occur thereafter). |
For more information, see Migrating the License Server Configuration.
|
•
|
The license administrator makes sure that an online connection between the LLS and the back office is set up—at least for the duration of synchronization from the back office to the LLS. |
|
•
|
The license administrator ensures that the LLS will use the same hostid currently used by the SA in its operations with the back office. |
|
•
|
Just prior to the migration, the license administrator forces a synchronization from the SA to the back office using one of the following: |
|
•
|
The /fne/xml/start-to-sync-to-fno XML endpoint (for online synchronization) |
|
•
|
The offline synchronization procedure |
Migration Procedure
Once the synchronization from the SA to the back office is complete, have the license administrator perform the same steps described in Migration Procedure for the “Migrating Trusted Storage without License-Distribution Preservation”.
Post-Migration Validations
To verify that the trusted-storage migration completed successfully, have the enterprise license administrator perform the same tasks listed in Post-Migration Validations for the “Migrating Trusted Storage without License-Distribution Preservation”.
