Resolution

The licensing directory could contain too many expired licenses.

Procedure to clean up license directory:
 
  • vxlicrep|tee /var/tmp/vxlicrep.out
   (this file can be used for historical reference if needed)
  • highlight the Storage Foundation license (pasted below)
  • cd /etc/vx/licenses
  • cp -Rp lic lic-
  • rmlic /*
  • vxlicinst -k
   (paste from above)

This will automatically generate Volume Manager and Veritas Filesystem license keys.  A Cluster Server license will be automatically generated when a Storage Foundation HA key is entered (Standard or Enterprise).  Additional licenses may be automatically generated as appropriate.

Additional license keys may be installed using the vxlicinst command as needed.
