Installing an SLM cluster

An SLM Cluster consists of one to four SLM Servers.

To install an SLM cluster:

1. Use the SLM client setup.exe file to install the SLM servers. You can find this file in this folder: SLM dir\setup\setup.exe

   For an SLM Cluster you can install up to four SLM servers on various hosts. You must start one of these servers in Master mode and start the residual servers in Slave mode. By default the first installed server becomes the master.

2. Install the SLM MMC snap-in.
3. Configure the licensing with the SLM snap-in. Ensure all relevant SLM servers are registered in the "License Manager Hosts" section and configure the license information. If required, change the SLM Server identification method. See Active SLM Server.

   You can change the identification method by removing the existing SLM Server registration and adding the new registration.

   See Configuring the licenses

   After you saved the license data to the SLM server, the master SLM server stores the license data locally. Then the license data is distributed to the slave SLM Servers.

4. Request an activation key at Infor Validation and patch the received key.

   If the SLM server running in Master mode must be stopped for a longer period. You can restart one of the SLM servers that run in Slave mode in Master mode to take over the management tasks. The remaining SLM servers are notified of this change and adapt to the change.

5. Install and configure the SLM clients.
6. Test the SLM installation.
