Parameter: grouplicenseip

Startup parameters change the behavior of the Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.

Parameter

grouplicenseip

Description

Service Manager uses Micro Focus AutoPass software to validate the license. This parameter defines the TCP/IP address of the Service Manager host with a valid Micro Focus AutoPass license for the virtual group. This parameter contains the TCP/IP address of the Service Manager primary host, or a list of comma-seperated IP addresses of the primary and backup hosts for license verification. When you request a license, AutoPass prompts you for the IP address of the system where you are going to install the software. Use this IP address as the value for the grouplicenseip parameter. During startup, Service Manager needs the grouplicenseip parameter for the following conditions:

  • You are running Service Manager on a system with multiple Network Interface Cards (NICs) and multiple IP addresses.
  • You are running Service Manager in a horizontally-scaled system and the primary host has multiple NICs and multiple IP addresses.
  • You are running Service Manager in a horizontally-scaled system and you are configuring the sm.ini file on a secondary host.

It is best practice to place this parameter in the Service Manager initialization (sm.ini) file, so that all servlet container processes started on the same host share the TCP/IP address specified by this parameter.
