Supermicro:Supermicro SSM Activate Licenses

After installing SSM ( Supermicro SSM Installation), each node that you intend to manage needs some form of licensing before you attempt to identify the nodes in SSM.

• For X10 systems, there is a license that gets applied to the BMC
• For X9 systems, this is TBC

Licensing X10 nodes

• For our demo cluster, Supermicro provided licenses for nodes haswell[01-08]. We provided the IP addresses and MAC addresses of the BMC of each node
• The license file returned by Supermicro is as follows:

• Supermicro provided an activation tool (actual.zip) which contains a script to apply the licenses to the individual BMCs
• Decompress and check the actool.sh - in particular, check the JAVA_PATH as this was set to something incorrect originally:

#!/bin/bash

BASEPATH=`dirname "$0"`
CC_OPTS="-Xms8m -Xmx64m"

JAVA_PATH=/opt/Supermicro/SSM/jre/bin/java
if [ ! -e "$JAVA_PATH" ] ; then
        if [  "$JAVA_HOME" != '' ] ; then
                JAVA_PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java
        else
                JAVA_PATH=java
        fi
fi

• Execute the actool.sh script and point it to the license file:
