Okay, this is a brand new one for me. I've got several machines/LPARs.
They have varying combinations of products: HA/replication LPARs should
be the same, and the DEV box obviously has a somewhat different
configuration. Had some unexpected license messages come up and so I
decided to compare keys. On one of the LPARs, DSPLICKEY returns CPF9E58
License key information not found. Now I expect this when looking for a
key that is not there, but with DSPLICKEY PRDID(*ALL) LICTRM(*ALL)
FEATURE(*ALL) I definitely don't expect to see that error; that implies
that there are NO KEYS on this machine! AHHHHH! PANIC!
Now I know that the fine folks at IBM continue to provide us with new
services and I wondered if there was one for keys and lo and behold, the
LICENSE_INFO view does just that. When run on the working LPARs, it
shows me the same information I get from DSPLICKEY. But on the
misbehaving LPAR, LICENSE_VIEW shows me the keys I expect, even though
DSPLICKEY shows nothing!
So now I'm stumped. Looks to me like I've got some internal tables
munged up and a call to IBM may be in order. But before I do that, I
thought I'd reach out to the collective community. Anybody else ever see
something like this?
