Transferring disk images

The "mkdskcmd" utility is able to transfer (copy) disk images of one type to a disk image of another type.

...

  • <source disk file name> - a file name of the disk image to be transferred

  • <source disk parameters> - the name of the disk from the list of available on "mkdskcmd --list" request or the disk geometry specification (see below).

Example:

$ mkdskcmd --transfer /etc/rz22.vdisk rz25

It is also possible to specify the disk parameters manually with "--blcount / -c" (blocks count) and "--blsize / -z" (blocks size) switches:

$ mkdskcmd --transfer <source disk file name> -blsize <number> -blcount <number>

Example:

$ mkdskcmd -t /etc/custom.vdisk -z 512 -c 262134

# hasp_srm_view -help

CHARON Sentinel HASP utility
Copyright: STROMASYS SA, 2013Options:
    -? or -h or -help - to see help screen
   -l - to see CHARON license details
   -c2v <C2V file> - to collect the key status information (C2V file)
   -fgp <C2V file> - to collect the host fingerprint information (C2V file)
   -tfr <LicenseID> <recipient file> - to transfer HASP SL license (V2C file)
   -tfr <LicenseID> - to remove HASP SL license (V2C file) from the local host
   -idf - to get transfer recipient (ID) file "recipient.id"

...

  1. Run "hasp_srm_view" utility on the "RecipientHost" with the following parameters to collect the host ID info:

    $ hasp_srm_view -idf

    The "recipient.id" file will be created in the current directory.
     

  2. Copy the "recipient.id" file to the "SourceHost".

    Info

    "recipient.id" is an ASCII file, so use the "ascii" option for FTP transfer.

           

  3. On the "SourceHost", open the "Sentinel Admin Control Center" (ACC) ( http://localhost:1947). Note the number of the software license you are going to transfer.
     

  4. Run the "hasp_srm_view" utility in the following way to create a transfer license for the host "RecipientHost":

    $ hasp_srm_view -tfr <license number> recipient.id

    The "license number" is the value collected at the step 3.

    Example of collecting a transfer license:

    $ hasp_srm_view -tfr 12345678 recipient.id

    A "<license number>.v2c" file will be created in the current directory. In the example above, the name of the transfer license will be "12345678.v2c"
     

  5. Copy the resulting "<license number>.v2c" file to the "RecipientHost".

    Info

    "<license number>.v2c" is an ASCII file, so use the "ascii" option for FTP transfer.

          

  6. On the "RecipientHost", open "Sentinel Admin Control Center" (ACC) (http://localhost:1947) and apply the "<license number>.v2c" file as  described above.

...

  1. Open "Sentinel Admin Control Center" (ACC) (http://localhost:1947). Note the number of the software license you are going to remove.
     

  2. Run the "hasp_srm_view" utility in the following way to remove the license:

    $ hasp_srm_view -tfr <license number>

    The "license number" is the value collected at the step 1.

    Example:

    $ hasp_srm_view -tfr 12345678

    The "<license number>.v2c" file will then be created in the current directory. In the example above the name of the transfer license will be "12345678.v2c"
     

  3. It is always possible to re-apply the created ".v2c" file to restore the deleted software license.

"hasp_update" utility

...

To invoke the "hasp_update" utility, login as "root" and use the following syntax:

# ./ hasp_update <option> [filename]

...

ParameterValueDescription
<option>uUpdates a Sentinel protection key / attaches a detached license
iRetrieves Sentinel protection key information
dDetaches a license from a Sentinel Software License (SL) key
rRehost a license from a Sentinel Software License (SL) key
hDisplay help
[filename]Path to the V2C/H2R file (in case of 'u'pdate/attach)

Path to the C2V file
Optional: uses "stdout" if file name is not specified (in case of 'i'nfo)

Example:

# ./ hasp_update u license_update.v2c


Info

We recommend to use this tool only for "Update a Sentinel protection key / attach a detached license" function ("u" option). For the rest use "hasp_srm_view" utility.

...

The utility allocates chosen network interfaces (both physical and virtual) and configures the offload parameters.

Note

The NetworkManager service must be running in order to have all the functionalities enabled with "ncu". If the service is not enabled please configure the network using the manual operations described in the section "Manual configuration of CHARON networking" of the Installation chapter of this Guide.
