You must run the SySam license manager on all the primary and secondary nodes in the cluster. This does not require additional steps if $SYBASE is installed on the local file systems.
If $SYBASE is installed on the global file system, follow the steps below to run the license manager on all nodes using the same license.dat file.
Create the same alias in the /etc/hosts file for the respective physical host names of all the primary and secondary nodes.
For example, if node1 and node2 are the host names of the primary and secondary nodes, add an alias, such as license_host, for both nodes in their /etc/hosts files.
For example, on node1, /etc/hosts looks like:
10.22.98.43 node1 license_host 10.22.98.44 node2
On node2, /etc/hosts looks like:
10.22.98.43 node1 10.22.98.44 node2 license_host
Edit the license.dat file in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/licenses or as specified by the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE.
Change the host name in the SERVER line to the alias host name defined in the /etc/hosts file. Following the above example, the SERVER line changes from:
SERVER node1 any 1700
SERVER license_host any 1700
