Managing licenses
While installing InfoScale in an OpenShift or Kubernetes environment, you apply licenses. You select the license edition and optionally enter the IP address of the VIOM server in your environment.
The license server IP address can be updated to
license_cr.yaml subsequently, if not entered while installing. Edit <path>/license_cr.yaml and enter IP address of the VIOM server for licenseServer. After updating the yaml, run kubectl/oc apply -f <path>/license_cr.yaml to apply the license with the updated IP address of the VIOM server.
After the IP address of the VIOM server is specified and the license is applied, you can check the status. Run
kubectl describe license <path>/license_cr.yaml. Review the License Server Status message with the following table. You can initiate appropriate action on the basis of the message.
