Setting up an MCS Terminal Server
by Craig Stacey 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

I think we've hit the point that we need to set up a terminal server again for MCS to use. CIS doesn't feel putting a current version of office on the terminal server cluster is worth their time, and we're finding more and more people running VMs. Is this something we can do with low effort? -- Craig

All, I'm just getting out of the office now. I'll be in a little late in the morning. I expect to be over in bio (202) for most/all of the afternoon. If needed, I'll try and stay on ichat and will certainly be on email. -- Hunter Matthews Unix Administrator Office: Bldg 221 Room B240 Argonne National Labs, MCS Key: F0F88438 / FFB5 34C0 B350 99A4 BB02 9779 A5DB 8B09 F0F8 8438 Never take candy from strangers.

redundant flexlm license servers?
by John Valdes 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi Core, The software license for STAR (STAR-CCM+ and STAR-CD, computation fluid dynamics applications uses by various groups at the lab) will be renewed soon (in March). ANL has a lab-wide license which we're currently serving up from licman2. While licman2 has been stable, its/Bldg 240's power hasn't always been, so whenever licman2 has been down (usually for building or Core power maintenance), STAR users elsewhere on site (eg, in NE) have been unable to use the software. STAR uses FLEXlm for license management, and one feature of FLEXlm is that it supports redundant license servers. Basically, you run FLEXlm on 3 servers, and they talk with each other to see who's up and giving out licenses. I'm thinking it would be good to setup redundant license servers for STAR when we renew the license so that future 240 outages don't affect users elsewhere onsite. NE (Keith Bowers) has volunteered to run one server, and we'll keep licman2 as one, so then we just need a third. We have redundant/backup servers in 221, no? If so, maybe one of those (it could be a VM, doesn't really matter) could be the 3rd server? What you guys think? An alternative to using FLEXlm's redundancy feature would be to setup a failure server for licman2 as a whole as I believe is done with other servers? John
