Chapter 11: Migrating from lmgrd to lmadminCommand ChangesPersistent configuration options is a significant change. Once set, settings remain in effect until changed. Forexample, if two vendor daemons are specified to use the same TCP port, only one will run. With lmgrd, this requiresmaking changes to at least one of the license files as well as stopping and restarting the server. With lmadmin, youcan change the TCP port for a vendor daemon while the license server is running. The manually specified port isthen persistent and will remain as it was manually set the next time the license server is started, even if the licensefile is changed. The changes set in the license server manager override the license files.Command ChangesBecause of the changes in the fundamental operation of the system, many features have been redesigned. Thefollowing lmgrd command-line options are not supported by lmadmin.Table 11-1 • Command-line options to lmgrd that are not supported by lmadmin.lmgrd optionlmadmin notes–2 –p The replacement option is -adminOnly yes, which is the default forlmadmin.–z The replacement option is -foreground.–c license_file_list License files are now managed using either the license servermanagement interface or the new -import option.–v Version information is now displayed in the license server managementinterface.
