Antwort: Re: [INUG-Users] ISM 2.3 on Redhat Enterprise 3 server? > Check with netstat -an | grep portnumber [Virus checked]

Hello,

an similary Error also on Solaris. The Lic-Server holds for some Time
(Minutes) the Port on the Machine.

Check with netstat -an | grep xxxx (where xxx is your Portnumber, also
27000 and the Port for the Vendor). When you fix the Vendor-Port to e.g.
27001 you can look easier with netstat.

Wait some Minutes and try again.

MM (resp. flexlm) said, it is in Bug on Solaris. You can set down the
TCP-Wait-Time.

But our Admin said, it is like RFCxxxx and NOT an BUG.

In Omnibus 3.6 you can stop the FlexLM for some Minutes WITHOUT Crashing
the Object-Server. It 3.6 checks not all Minutes the Licenses. But i use
ISM2.3 and ISM holds the License. So after Stopping ISM i can Restart
FlexLM without Restarting Object-Server.

But this Case is not good. Don't do it. The Risk is high.

Mit freundlichen Gr|_en

Hi Sara,
I had that once only - I think when I restarted lmgrd and didn't kill the
vendor daemon ("netcool")
correctly. Make sure all lmgrd processes and sub-daemons "netcool" are
down.
Also, make sure that the vendor daemon's tcp port (36318) is free. You can
specifiy a fixed port if
you want: Ammend the VENDOR line to  "VENDOR netcool port=27001" in the
license.dat file (27001 is
what I use).

Of course, I only have used this on RedHat 7 and 9 - so it may be an issue
of Enterprise 3 Server
which I am not aware of.

Regards,

Michael
