Is it possible to set up the IPA floating license to utilize redundant servers?

0

With FLEXlm you can set up redundant license servers to operate as a single logical license server. Redundant servers help ensure the availability of your licenses in the event of a system crash. The cost is some additional administration. If you are willing to deal with the extra overhead, and you want to ensure that all of your licenses are available even if one machine crashes, then you may want to use redundant servers. In a redundant server configuration, no licenses are available until there is a quorum of servers. A quorum of servers is defined as a strict majority of the servers listed in the license file, so a quorum in a three-server configuration is two. In other words, if only one server in a three server configuration is running, then no licenses will be available. As soon as two of the three servers are running and communicating with each other, then all of the licenses will be available.
