How do I change the default NFM-P license expiry notification date?

Purpose

The NFM-P raises a daily warning alarm as the expiry date of the NFM-P license approaches. By default, the first alarm is raised seven days before the expiry date. Perform the procedure to change the default license expiry notification date.

CAUTION

Service Disruption

Modifying the nms-server.xml file can have serious consequences that can include service disruption.

Contact technical support before you attempt to modify the nms-server.xml file.

Note: You must perform the procedure on each main server in the NFM-P system.

Note: In a redundant system, you must perform the procedure on the standby main server station first.

Steps
 

Log in to the main server station as the nsp user.


Open a console window.


Navigate to the /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/config directory.


Create a backup copy of the nms-server.xml file.


Open the nms-server.xml file using a plain-text editor such as vi.


Locate the following tag in the nms-server.xml file:

<license


Edit the following line in the section to read:

timedLicenseExpiryCount="value"

where value is the number of days to be notified before the license expiry


Save and close the nms-server.xml file.


On a standalone main server, or the primary main server in a redundant system, enter the following:

bash$ /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/bin/nmsserver.bash read_config ↵

The NFM-P puts the configuration change into effect.
