Licensing - Clusters - New Customers

A Cluster Kit license enables 2 CC-SG physical units operating as a cluster to share licenses. The system will allow limited operations until the cluster is created and actively operating, and the license is installed and checked out on the primary cluster node. The CC-SG units in the cluster can temporarily operate as standalone units to allow for independent maintenance of each unit. The 2 CC-SG units must be re-joined for continuous full functionality. Clustering is not supported for virtual appliances.

Note: If the standalone grace period expires, CC-SG operations are limited until the cluster is joined. See Licensing - Limited Operation Before License Install.

When creating your cluster license file on the Raritan Licensing Portal, you must enter the Host IDs for each CC-SG unit. Find these numbers on the Administration > License Management page of each CC-SG unit.
