Manual Activation in Kubernetes

DxOperator is meant to use online activation automatically during normal operation. However, in certain situations it might be desirable to use manual/offline activations. This document describes how to manually activate the DxEnterprise cluster nodes (pods) in Kubernetes.

Information​

These steps need to be performed on each pod in the cluster.

  1. Run dxcli get-license-request to generate a license request for the pod.

    kubectl exec -c dxe dxesqlag-0 -- dxcli get-license-request AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD

  2. Copy the output from the get-license-request command.

  3. Login to the DH2i Client Portal and go to the License Activation page.

  4. Input the license request into the box, select the Accept EULA checkbox, then select the Activate button.

  5. Copy the license answer from the output.

  6. Run dxcli set-license command to set the license for the pod.

    kubectl exec -c dxe dxesqlag-0 -- dxcli set-license AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD <license_answer>

After all the pods in the cluster are activated, the operator will continue building the DxEnterpriseSqlAg.
