Hi, Ok. I'm a muppet. The correct braincell woke up about 30 seconds after I sent the message. On this domain the hostid is a function of the MAC address on dman0. The serial number is just the hostid represented in decimal. I've checked the app and it's getting back the correct serial number. I've still no idea why it doesn't like the license however. Back to the app vendors. Thanks to messrs Riddick and McDaniel for their speedy replies. And is it me or has the holiday season started early? Cheers Joe ---------------------------- originally --------------------------------------------- Hi, Got one here for the experts on the big toys. We have an app running of an F15K domain. The app is licensed against hostname and hostid. These values are obtained via "hostid" and "uname -n". Easy enough so far. The problem is that we've just built a new domain and the licenses provided (we had several attempts) never work. The difference between the new domain and the old working instance is that the new one does all it's networking via a couple of Cassini cards (ce gigabits) whereas the old one had these plus a QFE card. I can't recall exactly how a 15K domain picks up it's hostid value. I'm also wondering if the app licensing software is picking up the eri card used for backplane comms. I've tried to truss the licensing steps and it looks like the software calls sysinfo and gets SI_HW_SERIAL. The number is comes back with doesn't look anything like the hostid so I'd like to know where this value comes from. If anyone can tell me how these components may interact I'd appreciate it. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Apr 16 11:38:01 2004
