Hi,
Does anyone know where can I find documentation about instaling SLM in a cluster environment.
In the SLM manual from the documentation portal Infor says it's possible but doesn't say how.
Thanks
Chavez

Refer to the SSA License Manager's Installation and Configuration Guide

High Availability Support
In some instances, SSA Global can grant customers high availability support. To prevent a particular percentage of your licenses from being lowered after the grace period, you must specify the High Availability Support (HAS) option in your SLM Server configuration.

Customer specific entries
The customer-specific entries keep track of, for example, the for which this SLM Configuration is created, the number under Customer is registered with SSA Global, information about SLM and whether High Availability Support (HAS) is enabled.

3 Set the properties:
Options Data
Tab Property Description
Confirm Time The time, in seconds, in which a license request must be confirmed. The default confirm time is set to 900 seconds (15 min.).
Options Data
HAS Indicates whether High Availability Support is present or not (protected). By default, this option is cleared. Mandatory properties are underlined.
For more details on the concepts of the confirm time and the impact this can
have on your configuration, refer to “Confirmation and releasing of licenses,”
in Chapter 1, “Introduction and concepts.” High Availability Support is described in “Fail over” and “High Availability Support,” in Chapter 1, “Introduction and concepts.”

What are steps to set two SLM servers in cluster? Probably I have to put both SLM servers in file servers.xml on both servers:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster clusterName="SLMcluster" clusterId="1111111111">
<servers version="1">
<server port="6005" id="1234567890" IPaddress="xx.xx.xx.xx" host="host1" />
<server port="6005" id="1234567891" IPaddress="xx.xx.xx.xx" host="host2" />
</servers>
</cluster>

What about license.xml?

<option
HAS="Yes"
confirmTime="900"
clusterName="SLMcluster"
clusterId="1111111111"
clientUpdate="Yes"
editState="add"
/>
<host
name="host1"
id="1234567890"
port="6005"
editState="add"
/>
<host
name="host2"
id="1234567891"
port="6005"
editState="add"
/>

Is this OK and enough? Thanks for your help.

jclju1,

I assume you also have the entries for the Production ids, Concurrent Licenses etc in the license.xml

Of course I have. But my question was about settings two SLM servers in cluster. Is this part OK?

Here is our servers.xml and we have HA

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster clusterName="SLMcluster" clusterId="3348793750" clientUpdate="no">
<servers version="1">
<server port="6115" id="1234567890" IPaddress="X.Y.Z.A" host="Prod1"/>
<server port="6115" id="2345678901" IPaddress="X.Y.Z.B" host="Prod2"/>
<server port="6115" id="3456789012" IPaddress="X.Y.Z.C" host="Prod3"/>
<server port="6115" id="4567890123" IPaddress="X.Y.X.D" host="DR"/>
</servers>
</cluster>
