View of loaded licenses from node DKWSBU 14-DEC-2007 09:38:11.10
------- Product ID -------- ---- Unit usage information ----
Product Producer Loaded Allocated Available
...
DW-MOTIF DEC 1050 1050 0
...
OPENVMS-ALPHA DEC 15 15 0
...
VMSCLUSTER DEC 3150 5250 ***
It makes sense that
Loaded >= Allocated (what I would expect)
and therefore
Available = Loaded - Allocated
But VMSCLUSTER seem to have more allocated than loaded and so available will be < 0 (and be displayed "***".).
How can this license show up having more allocated than loaded - and is the display of "available" intentional?

Re: unexpected SHOW LICENSE output
IFIAK SHOW LICENSE accesses LNM$LICENSE (and I've seen LMF$CHARCGE_TABLE logical referring to another file). Both refer to just one file on SYS$COMMON.
BTW: LMF$CHARGE_TABLE is new to me. I'll dig the manuals (if any data is available)

Re: unexpected SHOW LICENSE output
to get a litle bit more information, try:
$ SHOW LIC/USAGE VMSCLUSTER/FULL
The output will tell you, which node has allocated how many units.

Re: unexpected SHOW LICENSE output
Units Loaded seems to be the sum of all units from all VMSCLUSTER licenses loaded on this node from it's (local) LMF$LICENSE.LDB.
Does this match on your V8.2 system ?

Re: unexpected SHOW LICENSE output
Units Loaded is the local node's view of the license units it is seeing in it's LMF$LICENSE.LDB.
The rx1600 does not have a VMSCLUSTER license, but is probably using OPENVMS-I64-MCOE. SHOW LIC only shows you licenses, which the local node has loaded from it's license db into memory (i.e. logical names).
I can image, that a LIC LOAD VMSCLUSTER on this V8.2 node will fail to load this license with LICENSE-F-EXCEEDED, so don't try it yet...
How do these system access LMF$LICENSE.LDB in this cluster ? Common system disk with just ONE LMF$LICENSE.LDB ? Or multiple system disks with identical copies of LMF$LICENSE.LDB ?
Volker.

Re: unexpected SHOW LICENSE output
did you sum up the VMSCLUSTER units from the V8.2 license database ? What do you get ?
