Change the initial master SLM Server

Ensure that the existing master server is not acting anymore as master server. Adjust the configuration file of the master server: ${SLMHOME}/etc/servercfg.xml.

Change the mode from “master” to “slave” and restart the SLM Server.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- Configuration for SLM -->
<servercfg
	mode="slave"
	port="6005"
/>

For a short while it is no problem if there is no master SLM Server in your environment. The Master role is only to act as owner of the configuration data, so as long as no license configuration changes are made the master role is not required.
