Hi,

Many moons ago I set up licensing on our pSeries server for Xlc and
it's worked fine ever since. This morning a user has flagged the
following error to me he got whilst trying to compile :-

rdavis/tmp> /usr/bin/xlc test.c
1506-507 (W) No licenses available. Contact your program supplier to
add additional users. Compilation will proceed shortly.

On checking the license server it isn't running.....

../usr/opt/ifor/bin/i4blt -s

i4blt Version 4.6.8 AIX -- LUM Basic License Tool

ADM-10037: There are no active license servers

I've tried starting and stopping using :-

/usr/opt/ifor/bin/i4cfg

but it makes no odds.......

There does seem to be some i4 processes missing though - i spotted this
by comparring to another node :-

Working node :-

india:/ >ps -eda | grep i4
3660 - 0:09 i4lmd
7862 - 0:09 i4lmd
15538 - 0:00 i4lmd
15998 - 0:00 i4llmd
16522 - 0:36 i4llmd
16836 - 0:00 i4lmd


Failing node :-

iran:/ >ps -eda | grep i4
532532 - 0:00 i4llmd
1060978 - 0:00 i4llmd

Any ideas what happened ?

Regards,
Mike.

I believe the license manager is optional. Check your /etc/vac.cfg file
to see if the "options" line (near the end, in the DEFLT: stanza)
contains the "-qnolm" option, meaning "no license manager". If it
doesn't, try adding it. You can also specify "-qnolm" on the command
line, of course.

Top man - that worked a treat !!!

I've only been waiting 36hrs for IBM to come up with a solution to my
problem.....don't know why I bother with software support anymore from
IBM.

Thanks again Dave.

Mike.
