To Activate IPMI
Copy the IPMI license file that you purchased from Cyclades into the
following directory on your APM:
/var/apm/licenses/data/APM_B_IPMI.enc
Caution: Licenses (except for factory default licenses) must be reinstalled
after you recreate the system partition or after you run the
“installimg” command.
If you want to preserve your licenses before you recreate a system
partition or before you run “installimg,” you can edit the file “/etc/
files.list” and add your license file name to the list of files. Be sure
to use the full path of each license file name you enter into this
file. For example if the name of the license file you are adding is
“APM_B_IPMI.enc” you should enter the full path name:
/var/apm/licenses/data/APM_B_IPMI.enc
Be sure to follow up with the “saveconf” command. It is also a
good idea to save a copy of each license file on a server that can be
accessed by your APM, just to be extra safe.
