Can't start FlexLM vendor daemon due to lack of eth0

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

I have set up a new RHEL 7.2 64-bit server to run a number of FlexLM vendor daemons for various software.  I recently generated a new license file for TI CCS 6.99 and added it to the server with the tidspssw 11.4 vendor daemon.  Unfortunately, I'm encountering an error when starting lmgrd:

9:19:20 (tidspssw) Wrong hostid on SERVER line for license file:
9:19:20 (tidspssw) ti_ccs.lic
9:19:20 (tidspssw) SERVER line says 00010242119d, hostid is (Can't get hostid of type 2 [])
9:19:20 (tidspssw) Invalid hostid on SERVER line

An older post on this forum indicates that this error is due to the tidspssw daemon wanting to see eth0 to verify the hostid.  From what I've read, I cannot rename my network interface to eth0 because it ethX names are no longer allowed in RHEL 7.2.  Is there a new version of the vendor daemon available that will check network devices besides eth0?  If not, is there any other way to address this problem?  The other 10 vendor daemons I'm running on this FlexLM server do not suffer this problem so I'm not sure why tidspssw is complaining.

    Please disregard my post. It actually is possible to rename the interfaces; I failed to create the interface scripts at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX so it wasn't working. As soon as I actually followed the documentation, it worked. Funny, that!

    Eric,

    The last one of these I dealt with was 3 years back and the latest lm tools at the time seemed to have resolved the issue.
    e2e.ti.com/.../938157

    The guy that knows the most about this is out until mid next week. However I think I may have a better solution. For universities we are trying to move away from the current F100 license to a site license. Basically it is a special license file that would run on any PC at your university. So when setting up the lab you would install CCS and copy in this file and it would be good to go. No need to hook it up to a license server.

    Is that something you would be interested in?

    Regards,
    John

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the response.

    We would definitely be interested in using a site license in lieu of the FlexLM stuff. Would that require us to repurchase anything, or can we just convert our existing licensing to the site license?

    Eric,

    I will send you a friend request. That way we can exchange private messages. We can use that for exchanging the license file and some other info.

    Regards,
    John
