Hi,

I successfully installed ASE-12.5.2 on Linux and all the servers (data,backup and monitor) are running fine,but while entering the license key information, lmgr gui appeared ok but I saw following error message in the command window where I started lmgr.

Shutdown failed: Cannot connect to license server (-15,570:111 "Connection refused")


I thought, I made a mistake while entering license key info,I re-entered it,and it didn't complain any thing in the gui and command window but it didn't display any message whether it was successful,now I am totally confused whether lmgr accepted the key info or not.


I saw following messsage in /opt/sybase-12.5.2/SYSAM-1_0/log/stderr.out

Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno or h_errno directly. Needs to be fixed.

and in /opt/sybase-12.5.2/SYSAM-1_0/log/lmgrd.log

14:37:16 (lmgrd) The TCP port number in the license, 29722, is already in use.
14:37:16 (lmgrd) Possible causes:
14:37:16 (lmgrd) 1) lmgrd is already running for this license.
14:37:16 (lmgrd) 2) The OS has not "cleared" this port since lmgrd died.
14:37:16 (lmgrd) 3) Another process is using this port number (unlikely).
14:37:16 (lmgrd) Solutions:
14:37:16 (lmgrd) 1) Make sure lmgrd and all vendor daemons for this
14:37:16 (lmgrd) license are not running.
14:37:16 (lmgrd) 2) You may have to wait for the OS to clear this port.

Is there a way I can check whether lmgr accepted the license key info and unlocked all the available features?.

Please respond.

Thanks in advance

This happens because a previous instance of lmgr daemon did not exit properly. grep for lmgr and SYBASE and kill any existing processes.

Start the daemon using ./lmgrd.

Then do an ./lmutil lmstat - to check status
and ./lmutil lmreread - To re-read the licsense.dat file

Thanks a lot willy_and_the_ci,

As you suggested I did grep and killed the lmgr and SYBASE processes and ran following command in one window.

It seems every thing looks ok to me but when I ran following command still a process running for lmgr

[sybase@hostname log]$ ps -ef | grep SYBASE
sybase 15448 15447 0 08:42 ? 00:00:00 SYBASE -T <hostname> 8.3 3 --lmgrd_start 446dd93d

sybase 15543 15457 0 08:52 pts/4 00:00:00 grep lmgr

Is there any thing wrong still?.

in stderr.out I saw following two lines from the begining any idea?

Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno or h_errno directly. Needs to be fixed.

Thanks for your time.
bsr.

Look at your lmgrd log, it is talking to you.

8:42:05 (SYBASE) Server started on <hostname> for: ASE_SBE
8:44:56 (lmgrd) Done rereading
8:44:56 (SYBASE) Rereading license file...
8:44:56 (SYBASE) Server started on <hostname> for: ASE_SBE

The problem is the license.dat file contains the <hostname>. You should replace this placeholder with the physical hostname.

I replaced machine name with <hostname> while posting the question on this forum,it displayed the machine name properly every where

Thanks in advance
