How do I apply an NSP license?
CAUTION Service disruption |
Performing the procedure requires a restart of each NSP cluster, which is service-affecting.
You must perform the procedure only during a scheduled maintenance period.
Note: You must perform the procedure on each NSP cluster.
Note: In a DR deployment, you must perform the steps first on the standby NSP cluster.
Note: release-ID in a file path has the following format:
R.r.p-rel.version
where
R.r.p is the NSP release, in the form MAJOR.minor.patch
version is a numeric value
Steps
1 |
Log in as the root or NSP admin user on the NSP deployer host. |
2 |
Open a console window. |
3 |
If you do not know the license file location, perform the following steps. Note: The location is configurable during NSP deployment; the default is /opt/nsp.
|
4 |
Transfer the new license.zip file to the path recorded in Step 3. |
5 |
Enter the following to start the NSP cluster: Note: If the NSP cluster VMs do not have the required SSH key, you must include the --ask-pass argument in the nspdeployerctl command, as shown in the following example, and are subsequently prompted for the root password of each cluster member: nspdeployerctl --ask-pass install --config –-deploy # /opt/nsp/NSP-CN-DEP-release-ID/bin/nspdeployerctl install --config –-deploy ↵ The NSP cluster starts, and the license is applied. |

Close the console window. End of steps |
