Licensing - Clusters - New Customers
A Cluster Kit license enables 2 CC-SG physical units operating as a
cluster to share licenses. The system will allow limited operations until
the cluster is created and actively operating, and the license is installed
and checked out on the primary cluster node. The CC-SG units in the
cluster can temporarily operate as standalone units to allow for
independent maintenance of each unit. The 2 CC-SG units must be
re-joined for continuous full functionality. Clustering is not supported for
virtual appliances.
Note: If the standalone grace period expires, CC-SG operations are
limited until the cluster is joined. See
Licensing - Limited Operation
Before License Install
(on page 28).
When creating your cluster license file on the Raritan Licensing Portal,
you must enter the Host IDs for each CC-SG unit. Find these numbers
on the Administration > License Management page of each CC-SG unit.
