  92   <p>I have already turned on the sons-clearcase. As we are busy integrating on several projects now, we can not afford to have sons-clearcase down and thus cripple the ClearQuest and the sync between SC and SH office.</p>
  93
  94   <p>We’ll have to find some other appropriate time to turn off sons-clearcase and look into these issues further. Preferably that time that both sites are off – between 3AM to 9AM PST.</p>
  95 </blockquote>
  96
  97 <p>OK, here's what I found out so far. Using adefaria as a test machine I first checked to see what FlexLM license server was being used on that machine by selecting <b>Start: All Programs: Rational Software: Rational License Key Administrator</b>. It was using just sons-clearcase. Next I attempting to talk to Clearquest by both the Clearquest GUI and cqc.  Then I stopped the FlexLM service on sons-clearcase. I then started the Clearquest GUI and it complained about no license server. Interestingly cqc continued to work. This may be because cqc/cqd opens the Clearquest database in a read only mode.</p>
  98
  99 <p>Next I added sons-sc-cc as a FlexLM License server and retested. Both the Clearcase GUI and cqc were able to obtain a license from sons-sc-cc with no problems. I even shutdown Clearcase on sons-clearcase and I was still able to use Clearcase GUI and cqc from adefaria with no problems.</p>
 100
 101 <p>I then restarted both FlexLM and Clearcase on sons-clearcase.</p>
 102
 103 <p>Dylan, perhaps you want to test this on your workstation. Try adding sons-sc-cc as a FlexLM license server for your desktop. You can toggle off sons-clearcase as a license server and attempt to access Clearquest. You can then stop the FlexLM service on sons-clearcase and test Clearquest access from your machine again. Finally try shutting down Clearcase on sons-clearcase and retest Clearquest access from your machine.</p>
 104
 105 <h3>Adding a FlexLM License Server to your Desktop</h3>
 106
 107 <ul>
 108   <li>Select <b>Start: All Programs: Rational Software: Rational
 109 License Key Administrator</b>:<br>
 110     <br>
 111     <img src="/blogs/Status/images/RLKA_sons-clearcase.jpg" alt=""></li>

 133     <br>
 134   </li>
 135   <li>Click on <b>Values</b> under the <b>Settings</b> on the right
 136 on the <font color="#ff0000">Server Name</font> column type sons-sc-cc
 137 and <b>Enter</b>. The server name should change from "New Server"
 138 -&gt; "sons-sc-cc":<br>
 139     <br>
 140     <img src="/blogs/Status/images/Client_Server_Configuration3.jpg" alt=""><br>
 141     <br>
 142 At this point you can toggle on or off either sons-clearcase or
 143 sons-sc-cc as a license server provider.<br>
 144     <br>
 145   </li>
 146   <li>Select <b>OK</b> to close this dialog box. You should see
 147 something like:<br>
 148     <br>
 149     <img src="/blogs/Status/images/RLKA_both.jpg" alt=""><br>
 150     <br>
 151 Note that there are 3 lines, two serviced by sons-clearcase (Rational
 152 ClearCase LT and Rational ClearQuest) and one serviced by sons-sc-cc
 153 (Rational ClearQuest). Also note that if you stop FlexLM on
 154 sons-clearcase and refresh or return the Rational Key License
 155 Administrator then licenses served by sons-clearcase will not be listed
 156 (since the server cannot be contacted.<br>
 157   </li>
 158 </ul>
 159
 160 <p>Similarly, all desktops (or Clearquest GUI clients) will have to adjust
 161 their FlexLM License Key Server in a similar manner. Also note that you
 162 can, instead of adding a server, simply click on the sons-clearcase
 163 server then click on <b>Values</b> under the <b>Settings</b> on the
 164 right on the <font color="#ff0000">Server Name</font> column and
 165 replace sons-clearcase with sons-sc-cc.</p>
 166
 167 <p>If the test is successful then I believe that sons-clearcase can be powered off. Again, I think we should still run about a week this way and if things are OK then I can rmreplica the US replicas leaving only the China (sons-cc) ones and the SantaClara (sons-sc-cc) ones.</p>
