833.0. "PCM Licenses in Cluster" by 31216::RIFKIN_DA (David Rifkin) Wed Jun 21 1995 17:33

    My customer is currently using a single AlphaServer 1000 as a PCM host 
    to monitor about 50 devices (concurrent licenses).  He wishes to add a 
    2nd AlphaServer and form a SCSI Cluster in order to eliminate a single
    system point of failure.
    
    Can the 50 concurrent PCM licenses be shared in a common LMF file in
    this senario, so that if one system goes down, the other can monitor
    all devices ??  Are there any other issues to be concerned about when
    moving to a cluster?
    
    Thx,
    
    Dave Rifkin

	Dave, There is no problem with this setup, however, make sure that PCM isnt started on both systems at the same time, they will both attempt to manage all the systems and grab licences!! Cheers, Phil
