3.3 Marben OSI and TMN Toolkit License Key Files

LSMS 14.0 works on OL8.x and needs license key files for Marben OSI and TMN Toolkit from Artifex for successful communication between LSMS and NPAC. Follow the below procedure to request these license key files.

The following steps must be performed by the customer:
  1. Go to https://store-oracle.custhelp.com/app/LC_CP
  2. Enter the required details.

    Note:

    • In the “Product Name and Version” field, enter "LSMS 14.0".
    • If this is a new LSMS 14.X system, complete the "Oracle Sales Representative" and "Sales Order Number" fields.
    • If this is an LSMS 13.X system being upgraded to LSMS 14.X, in the "Support Identifier" field, enter the Support Identifier number or the Support Contract number.
    • In the "Subject" field, enter "Request for 3rd party license".
    • In the "What can we help you with?" field, enter "Request for OL8-based 64-bit LSMS 3rd party license - Marben OSI and TMN Toolkit".
  3. If upgrading from LSMS 13.X to LSMS 14.X or performing a fresh installation of LSMS 14.X, obtain the following information (sample output provided below) from both primary and secondary customer servers and paste it in the "What can we help you with?" field textbox. Be sure to clearly indicate which hostname the ifconfig output corresponds with:
    # ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:17:0F:2C:9D
inet addr:10.75.140.10 Bcast:192.168.61.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: 2606:b400:605:b915:200:17ff:fe0f:2c9d/64 Scope:Global
inet6 addr: fe80::200:17ff:fe0f:2c9d/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:6943 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:546690 (533.8 KiB) TX bytes:732196 (715.0 KiB)
Memory:fdee0000-fdefffff

    Note:

    If you have access to a Linux terminal, open a terminal like PuTTY. Then, connect to the LSMS primary and secondary servers one after another using the following command: 
    ssh admusr@<lsms IP addres>

    For example, ssh admusr@10.75.140.10

    Input the required credential and run the following command: 
    ifconfig eth0

    If there is no provision of a Linux session (for examle, PuTTY), a laptop can be directly connected to the first serial port (console port) of the LSMS server. On the backside of the E5-APP-B card, look for the connector with part number 830-1407-01. The top serial port is the console port and it is labeled 'S1' on the adaptor. Remove the serial cable at ‘S1’ and connect your laptop through a serial cable. The cable part number is 830-1220-x.

    Then, run the following command in the windows terminal. After successfully retrieving the output, connect the serial cable (that was removed earlier) back in the ‘S1’ slot.
    ifconfig eth0
  4. Run the following command on both the LSMS primary and secondary servers. Provide both hostnames in the "What can we help you with?" textbox: 
    # hostname
lsmspri

    Note:

    If you wish to change the hostnames from the standard lsmspri/lsmssec, provide the new hostnames instead of lsmspri/lsmssec.
  5. Click Submit.

    Note:

    Allow 24-48 hours for your request to be processed.

Note:

Temporary license keys that are valid for a maximum of 60 days are available on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (edelivery.oracle.com) with the LSMS 14.X software. There are primarily two reasons for using these temporary license keys:

  1. Getting a fresh installation of an LSMS system installed and configured: The MAC addresses may not be known until during the installation process. Customers may wish to use the temporary license keys to proceed with getting the new LSMS system running before going live. The permanent license keys should be requested while system configuration continues using the temporary license keys. When the permanent license keys are available, they should be installed. Ideally, this should happen before going live.
  2. Recovering from an unplanned hardware replacement: In the case of disaster recovery when one or both of the E5-APP-B cards must be replaced, the temporary license keys should be used in order to get the LSMS system up and operational as quickly as possible. Once the system is operational, permanent license keys should be requested and installed when they are available.
