Cluster License

When HyWorks Controllers are configured in a cluster, the same license can be activated on both servers to enable these HyWorks Controllers to support the same number of devices without incurring an additional licensing cost.

  1. Activate a License on the Primary Controller Server

    One server should be configured as the primary server and should be activated first. Refer to the License Activation on HyWorks Controller section for activation steps.

    Note

    Do not select the Join Cluster License.

  2. Activate the License on the Secondary Controller Server

    1. Go to Host Management > System > License

    2. Click Show New License Activation option

    3. Provide credentials and the serial key

    4. Provide all the appropriate details in the License Activation section (provide the same information used when activating the license on the first HyWorks Controller)

    5. Follow the steps specified in the License Activation on HyWorks Controller section

      1. Password

      2. Serial Key

    6. Select the Join Cluster License checkbox

  3. The remainder of the license activation process is the same as the one specified in the License Activation on HyWorks Controller section (either of the license activation methods i.e. Online or Offline activation can be used to activate the cluster license on the secondary HyWorks Controller.)

  4. The same license will get activated on the secondary HyWorks Controller

  5. The License Management section and dashboard of the secondary HyWorks Controller will start displaying the details of the new license.
