E.3.1.3 Registration by using GUI/CLI on cluster environment

In the case where the manager function of AdvancedCopy Manager is on a cluster environment, a license must be registered in each node of which the cluster environment is made. Using "E.3.4 Backup and restoration of license management database" can ease registration task in a cluster environment.

The following example registers a license in a cluster environment. In this example, the manager function of AdvancedCopy Manager is an active/standby cluster application in a three-node cluster system.

1. Register a license in arbitrary one node of the cluster.

2. In the node where the previous step was done, backup license database by the esflm backup command.

   > esflm backup Backup-File-Name

3. Restore the license database by the esflm restore command in other nodes. By this operation, a license is registered in these nodes.

   > esflm restore Backup-File-Name
