Charon-SSP License Server Configuration

The license server address must be configured on the Charon-SSP host system for every emulated system that is to use the license server. This configuration is normally performed via the Charon Manager. On host systems that allow command-line access, it can also be performed by editing the configuration file.

Configuring the License Server Address Using the Charon Manager

To configure the license server address using the Charon Manager, perform the following steps:

1. Start the Charon Manager and log in to your Charon-SSP host system. Please refer to the user's guide of your Charon-SSP product for details.
2. Select the emulated SPARC system from the list of VMs on the left and click on Edit Virtual Machine to open the configuration window:
   
   
3. In the configuration window select the license configuration section and add the IP address of the license server in the License server configuration field:
   
   
4. Click on OK to save the configuration.

Configuring the License Server Address in the Configuration File

If your Charon-SSP host system allows command-line access, you can manually edit the configuration file of an emulated SPARC system. This section only describes the the license server address parameter. Pleaes refer to the user's guide of the conventional product for a full documentation of the configuration file options.

Configuration File Location

The default location for the configuration files is in /opt/charon-agent/ssp-agent/ssp/<architecture>/<vmname>/<vmname>.cfg.

In the above path

• <architecture> stands for sun-4m, sun-4u, or sun-4v,
• <vmname> stands for the name of the emulated SPARC.

However, if the Charon-SSP system is managed without the GUI, the user can decide where to create the emulator configuration files.

Adding the License Server Address to the Configuration File

To add the license server IP address to the configuration file, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the system as the privileged user.
2. Open the configuration file with a text editor.
3. Locate the [license] section.
4. Add the parameter
   server = <vpc-server-ip-address>
   to the section, where
   <vpc-server-ip-address> is the IP address of the VPC license server.
5. Save the configuration file
6. At the next restart of your emulator instance, the configuration becomes active.

Additional Information

Depending on your Charon-SSP product, the Charon Manager will show additional license management tools. In particular

• the primary and backup license configuration in the license configuration section, and
• the License Tools in the Tools menu.

These tools are not relevant for a Charon-SSP VPC environment and should not be used. The same is true for the license management command-line tools hasp_srm_view and hasp_update that are installed with the Charon Agent.
