The packages also provide apis for managing and interacting with the virtualized systems. Solution Refer to Chrome security advisory Don’t worry though, you don’t need to know JavaScript or vite in order to go through this sub-section.

Having a basic understanding of Node. Just like any other project you’ve done in the previous sub-section, you’ll begin by making a plan of how you want this application to run.

In my opinion, the plan should be as follows:. This plan should always come from the developer of the application that you’re containerizing. If you’re the developer yourself, then you should already have a proper understanding of how this application needs to be run.

Now if you put the above mentioned plan inside Dockerfile. Now, to build an image from this Dockerfile. Given the filename is not Dockerfile you have to explicitly pass the filename using the –file option. A container can be run using this image by executing the following command:. Congratulations on running your first real-world application inside a container.

The code you’ve just written is okay but there is one big issue with it and a few places where it can be improved. Let’s begin with the issue first. If you’ve worked with any front-end JavaScript framework before, you should know that the development servers in these frameworks usually come with a hot reload feature.

That is if you make a change in your code, the server will reload, automatically reflecting any changes you’ve made immediately. But if you make any changes in your code right now, you’ll see nothing happening to your application running in the browser.

This is because you’re making changes in the code that you have in your local file system but the application you’re seeing in the browser resides inside the container file system. To solve this issue, you can again make use of a bind mount. Using bind mounts, you can easily mount one of your local file system directories inside a container. Instead of making a copy of the local file system, the bind mount can reference the local file system directly from inside the container.

This way, any changes you make to your local source code will reflect immediately inside the container, triggering the hot reload feature of the vite development server. Changes made to the file system inside the container will be reflected on your local file system as well. You’ve already learned in the Working With Executable Images sub-section, bind mounts can be created using the –volume or -v option for the container run or container start commands.

Just to remind you, the generic syntax is as follows:. Stop your previously started hello-dock-dev container, and start a new container by executing the following command:. Keep in mind, I’ve omitted the –detach option and that’s to demonstrate a very important point. As you can see, the application is not running at all now.

That’s because although the usage of a volume solves the issue of hot reloads, it introduces another problem. If you have any previous experience with Node. This means that the vite package has gone missing. This problem can be solved using an anonymous volume.

An anonymous volume is identical to a bind mount except that you don’t need to specify the source directory here. The generic syntax for creating an anonymous volume is as follows:. So the final command for starting the hello-dock container with both volumes should be as follows:. So far in this section, you’ve built an image for running a JavaScript application in development mode.

Now if you want to build the image in production mode, some new challenges show up. In development mode the npm run serve command starts a development server that serves the application to the user. That server not only serves the files but also provides the hot reload feature. To run these files you don’t need node or any other runtime dependencies.

All you need is a server like nginx for example. To create an image where the application runs in production mode, you can take the following steps:. This approach is completely valid. But the problem is that the node image is big and most of the stuff it carries is unnecessary to serve your static files.

A better approach to this scenario is as follows:. This approach is a multi-staged build. To perform such a build, create a new Dockerfile inside your hello-dock project directory and put the following content in it:. As you can see the Dockerfile looks a lot like your previous ones with a few oddities.

The explanation for this file is as follows:. As you can see, the resulting image is a nginx base image containing only the files necessary for running the application. To build this image execute the following command:. Here you can see my hello-dock application in all its glory.

Multi-staged builds can be very useful if you’re building large applications with a lot of dependencies. If configured properly, images built in multiple stages can be very optimized and compact. If you’ve been working with git for some time now, you may know about the. These contain a list of files and directories to be excluded from the repository.

Well, Docker has a similar concept. You can find a pre-created. Files and directories mentioned here will be ignored by the COPY instruction.

But if you do a bind mount, the. I’ve added. So far in this book, you’ve only worked with single container projects. But in real life, the majority of projects that you’ll have to work with will have more than one container.

And to be honest, working with a bunch of containers can be a little difficult if you don’t understand the nuances of container isolation. So in this section of the book, you’ll get familiar with basic networking with Docker and you’ll work hands on with a small multi-container project.

Well you’ve already learned in the previous section that containers are isolated environments. Now consider a scenario where you have a notes-api application powered by Express.

These two containers are completely isolated from each other and are oblivious to each other’s existence. So how do you connect the two? Won’t that be a challenge? The first one involves exposing a port from the postgres container and the notes-api will connect through that.

Assume that the exposed port from the postgres container is Now if you try to connect to The reason is that when you’re saying The postgres server simply doesn’t exist there. As a result the notes-api application failed to connect.

The second solution you may think of is finding the exact IP address of the postgres container using the container inspect command and using that with the port. Assuming the name of the postgres container is notes-api-db-server you can easily get the IP address by executing the following command:. Now given that the default port for postgres is , you can very easily access the database server by connecting to There are problems in this approach as well.

Using IP addresses to refer to a container is not recommended. Also, if the container gets destroyed and recreated, the IP address may change. Keeping track of these changing IP addresses can be pretty hectic. Now that I’ve dismissed the possible wrong answers to the original question, the correct answer is, you connect them by putting them under a user-defined bridge network. A network in Docker is another logical object like a container and image.

Just like the other two, there is a plethora of commands under the docker network group for manipulating networks. You should see three networks in your system. These drivers are can be treated as the type of network. There are also third-party plugins that allow you to integrate Docker with specialized network stacks. Out of the five mentioned above, you’ll only work with the bridge networking driver in this book. Before you start creating your own bridge, I would like to take some time to discuss the default bridge network that comes with Docker.

Let’s begin by listing all the networks on your system:. As you can see, Docker comes with a default bridge network named bridge. Any container you run will be automatically attached to this bridge network:. Containers attached to the default bridge network can communicate with each others using IP addresses which I have already discouraged in the previous sub-section.

A user-defined bridge, however, has some extra features over the default one. According to the official docs on this topic, some notable extra features are as follows:. Now that you’ve learned quite a lot about a user-defined network, it’s time to create one for yourself. A network can be created using the network create command. The generic syntax for the command is as follows:. As you can see a new network has been created with the given name.

No container is currently attached to this network. In the next sub-section, you’ll learn about attaching containers to a network. There are mostly two ways of attaching a container to a network.

First, you can use the network connect command to attach a container to a network. To connect the hello-dock container to the skynet network, you can execute the following command:. As you can see from the outputs of the two network inspect commands, the hello-dock container is now attached to both the skynet and the default bridge network.

The second way of attaching a container to a network is by using the –network option for the container run or container create commands. To run another hello-dock container attached to the same network, you can execute the following command:. As you can see, running ping hello-dock from inside the alpine-box container works because both of the containers are under the same user-defined bridge network and automatic DNS resolution is working. Keep in mind, though, that in order for the automatic DNS resolution to work you must assign custom names to the containers.

Using the randomly generated name will not work. In the previous sub-section you learned about attaching containers to a network. In this sub-section, you’ll learn about how to detach them. You can use the network disconnect command for this task. To detach the hello-dock container from the skynet network, you can execute the following command:.

Just like the network connect command, the network disconnect command doesn’t give any output. Just like the other logical objects in Docker, networks can be removed using the network rm command. To remove the skynet network from your system, you can execute the following command:. You can also use the network prune command to remove any unused networks from your system. The command also has the -f or –force and -a or –all options.

Now that you’ve learned enough about networks in Docker, in this section you’ll learn to containerize a full-fledged multi-container project.

The project you’ll be working with is a simple notes-api powered by Express. In this project there are two containers in total that you’ll have to connect using a network. Apart from this, you’ll also learn about concepts like environment variables and named volumes. So without further ado, let’s jump right in. The database server in this project is a simple PostgreSQL server and uses the official postgres image.

PostgreSQL by default listens on port , so you need to publish that as well. The –env option for the container run and container create commands can be used for providing environment variables to a container.

As you can see, the database container has been created successfully and is running now. Although the container is running, there is a small problem. Now what if the container gets destroyed for some reason? You’ll lose all your data. To solve this problem, a named volume can be used. Previously you’ve worked with bind mounts and anonymous volumes. A named volume is very similar to an anonymous volume except that you can refer to a named volume using its name. Volumes are also logical objects in Docker and can be manipulated using the command-line.

The volume create command can be used for creating a named volume. To do so, stop and remove the notes-db container:. Now run a new container and assign the volume using the –volume or -v option. Now the data will safely be stored inside the notes-db-data volume and can be reused in the future. A bind mount can also be used instead of a named volume here, but I prefer a named volume in such scenarios.

In order to see the logs from a container, you can use the container logs command. To access the logs from the notes-db container, you can execute the following command:. Evident by the text in line 57, the database is up and ready to accept connections from the outside. There is also the –follow or -f option for the command which lets you attach the console to the logs output and get a continuous stream of text.

As you’ve learned in the previous section, the containers have to be attached to a user-defined bridge network in order to communicate with each other using container names. To do so, create a network named notes-api-network in your system:. Now attach the notes-db container to this network by executing the following command:. Go to the directory where you’ve cloned the project code.

Put the following code in the file:. This is a multi-staged build. The first stage is used for building and installing the dependencies using node-gyp and the second stage is for running the application. I’ll go through the steps briefly:. Before you run a container using this image, make sure the database container is running, and is attached to the notes-api-network. I’ve shortened the output for easy viewing here.

On my system, the notes-db container is running, uses the notes-db-data volume, and is attached to the notes-api-network bridge. Once you’re assured that everything is in place, you can run a new container by executing the following command:. You should be able to understand this long command by yourself, so I’ll go through the environment variables briefly. The notes-api application requires three environment variables to be set. They are as follows:. To check if the container is running properly or not, you can use the container ls command:.

The container is running now. Although the container is running, there is one last thing that you’ll have to do before you can start using it. You’ll have to run the database migration necessary for setting up the database tables, and you can do that by executing npm run db:migrate command inside the container. You’ve already learned about executing commands in a stopped container. Another scenario is executing a command inside a running container. For this, you’ll have to use the exec command to execute a custom command inside a running container.

To execute npm run db:migrate inside the notes-api container, you can execute the following command:. In cases where you want to run an interactive command inside a running container, you’ll have to use the -it flag. As an example, if you want to access the shell running inside the notes-api container, you can execute following the command:.

Managing a multi-container project along with the network and volumes and stuff means writing a lot of commands. To simplify the process, I usually have help from simple shell scripts and a Makefile.

There is also a Makefile that contains four targets named start , stop , build and destroy , each invoking the previously mentioned shell scripts. If the container is in a running state in your system, executing make stop should stop all the containers.

Executing make destroy should stop the containers and remove everything. Make sure you’re running the scripts inside the notes-api directory:. I’m not going to explain these scripts because they’re simple if-else statements along with some Docker commands that you’ve already seen many times. If you have some understanding of the Linux shell, you should be able to understand the scripts as well. In the previous section, you’ve learned about managing a multi-container project and the difficulties of it.

Instead of writing so many commands, there is an easier way to manage multi-container projects, a tool called Docker Compose. According to the Docker documentation -. Although Compose works in all environments, it’s more focused on development and testing. Using Compose on a production environment is not recommended at all. Go the directory where you’ve cloned the repository that came with this book. Put the following code in it:. The code is almost identical to the Dockerfile that you worked with in the previous section.

The three differences in this file are as follows:. In the world of Compose, each container that makes up the application is known as a service. The first step in composing a multi-container project is to define these services. Just like the Docker daemon uses a Dockerfile for building images, Docker Compose uses a docker-compose.

Head to the notes-api directory and create a new docker-compose. Put the following code into the newly created file:. Every valid docker-compose. At the time of writing, 3. You can look up the latest version here. Blocks in an YAML file are defined by indentation. I will go through each of the blocks and will explain what they do. Now that have a high level overview of the docker-compose.

Any named volume used in any of the services has to be defined here. You can learn about the different options for volume configuration in the official docs.

There are a few ways of starting services defined in a YAML file. The first command that you’ll learn about is the up command. The up command builds any missing images, creates containers, and starts them in one go.

Before you execute the command, though, make sure you’ve opened your terminal in the same directory where the docker-compose. This is very important for every docker-compose command you execute. The –detach or -d option here functions the same as the one you’ve seen before. The –file or -f option is only needed if the YAML file is not named docker-compose.

Apart from the the up command there is the start command. The main difference between these two is that the start command doesn’t create missing containers, only starts existing containers. It’s basically the same as the container start command.

The –build option for the up command forces a rebuild of the images. There are some other options for the up command that you can see in the official docs.

Although service containers started by Compose can be listed using the container ls command, there is the ps command for listing containers defined in the YAML only. It’s not as informative as the container ls output, but it’s useful when you have tons of containers running simultaneously.

I hope you remember from the previous section that you have to run some migration scripts to create the database tables for this API. Just like the container exec command, there is an exec command for docker-compose.

To execute the npm run db:migrate command inside the api service, you can execute the following command:. Unlike the container exec command, you don’t need to pass the -it flag for interactive sessions. You can also use the logs command to retrieve logs from a running service.

This is just a portion from the log output. You can kind of hook into the output stream of the service and get the logs in real-time by using the -f or –follow option. The container will keep running even if you exit out of the log window. To stop services, there are two approaches that you can take.

The first one is the down command. The down command stops all running containers and removes them from the system. It also removes any networks:. The –volumes option indicates that you want to remove any named volume s defined in the volumes block. You can learn about the additional options for the down command in the official docs. Another command for stopping services is the stop command which functions identically to the container stop command.

It stops all the containers for the application and keeps them. These containers can later be started with the start or up command. In this sub-section, we’ll be adding a front-end to our notes API and turning it into a complete full-stack application. I won’t be explaining any of the Dockerfile. If you’ve cloned the project code repository, then go inside the fullstack-notes-application directory. A fulfillment condition is bound to an ordered list of license pools.

If a request satisfies the conditions of the test, the bound license pools are evaluated, in order, to determine if the request can be served from the pool. A fulfillment condition may belong to only one license server. However, a license server may contain any number of fulfillment conditions.

If a license server contains more than one fulfillment condition, the conditions are ordered. Every request from a licensed client is tested against each fulfillment condition in order either until the request can be fulfilled or has been tested against all the fulfillment conditions. The Reference Match condition allows only clients that have been provisioned with the client configuration token associated with a fulfillment condition to be served.

The client configuration token contains a unique identifier for the fulfillment condition. The client provides this unique identifier to the server whenever the client requests a license from the server.

For information about how to provision a licensed client with a condition match token, see:. The Universal Match condition allows any client to be served. It is the default fulfillment condition and is applied if more specific conditions are not met or they were unable to fulfill a request. Because this condition is the most general condition, it is the last condition to be evaluated.

Only one fulfillment condition for a license server may specify the Universal Match condition. If another fulfillment condition for the server specifies this match condition, it is absent from the Match Condition drop-down list. To be able to serve licenses, a license server must have at least one fulfillment condition. If you delete all the fulfillment conditions that belong to a license server, the license server is no longer able to serve licenses to clients.

By default, fulfillment conditions that are configured with the Reference Match condition are tested in the order in which they were added to a license server. You can change this order if you want the fulfillment conditions to be tested in a specific order. After generating a client configuration token , you copy it to each licensed client that you want to use the token. Each client then provides data from the token back to the server whenever the client requests a license from the server.

A client configuration token is valid for 12 years after it is generated. How to generate a client configuration token depends on whether you are generating the token for a CLS or a DLS instance. After creating a client configuration token from a service instance, copy the client configuration token to each licensed client that you want to use the combination of license servers and fulfillment conditions specified in the token.

For more information, see Configuring a Licensed Client. Each scope reference specifies the license server that will fulfil a license request. When modifying a license server, license pool, or fulfillment condition, you must disable it before modifying it. To ensure that service instance can serve licenses to licensed clients, you must ensure that its license servers, licence pools and fulfillment conditions are enabled.

License server settings control how a service instance handles licenses that have been served to licensed clients. If network connectivity is lost, the loss of connectivity is detected during license renewal and the client has License Sever settings can also be set at Service Instance level.

In this case, all the license servers bound to Service Instance will use the Service Instance level setting values as their default. Once the setting values are overridden at the License Server level, they will use the License Server setting values. This section will describe options to manually release licenses using the License Server GUI if immediate license freeing is needed.

In the example where a License Client VM has been un-gracefully stopped and deleted from existence, the license will remain in-use on the server and will not be freed until the lease has reached expiration. Because of this, manual admin release from the server is useful and these steps will describe the procedure. This section will describe how to locate and manually release specific VMs from the server. Example: licenses allocated to the server, 10 Leases can be specifically manually released.

There is a day rolling limit of 2 Bulk Releases of licenses that can be executed from the server. Before configuring a licensed client, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:. You can specify a custom location for the client configuration token by adding a registry value on Windows or by setting a configuration parameter on Linux.

By specifying a shared network location that is mounted locally on the client, you can simplify the deployment of the same client configuration token on multiple clients. Instead of copying the client configuration token to each client individually, you can keep only one copy in the shared network location.

The value to set depends on the type of the GPU assigned to the licensed client that you are configuring. Set the value to the full path to the folder in which you want to store the client configuration token for the client. By specifying a shared network drive mapped on the client, you can simplify the deployment of the same client configuration token on multiple clients.

Instead of copying the client configuration token to each client individually, you can keep only one copy in the shared network drive. If the folder is a shared network drive, ensure that the following conditions are met:.

If you are storing the client configuration token in the default location, omit this step. After a Windows licensed client has been configured, options for configuring licensing for a network-based license server are no longer available in NVIDIA Control Panel.

By specifying a shared network directory that is mounted locally on the client, you can simplify the deployment of the same client configuration token on multiple clients.

Instead of copying the client configuration token to each client individually, you can keep only one copy in the shared network directory. This directory is a mount point on the client for a shared network directory. If the directory is a shared network directory, ensure that it is mounted locally on the client at the path specified in the ClientConfigTokenPath configuration parameter.

To verify the license status of a licensed client, run nvidia-smi with the —q or –query option. Perform these routine administration tasks as needed during the lifetime of the service instance. You can set the validity period of a lease authorization token to either enhance performance or increase security. Increasing the validity period enhances performance by decreasing the frequency with which clients are authorized before the service instance grants a licensing request.

Decreasing the expiration time increases security by increasing the frequency with which clients are authorized before the service instance grants a licensing request.

How to set the validity period of a lease authorization token for a service instance depends on whether you are setting it for a CLS instance or a DLS instance. After installing a new version of the DLS virtual appliance, you can transfer the license servers, user registration, IP address, and service instance from the existing virtual appliance to a new virtual appliance. However, event records on the existing virtual appliance are not migrated.

During the migration process, all data is removed from the secondary DLS instance and the instance is removed from the cluster. After completing the migration process for the primary instance, you can configure an HA cluster from the new primary instance.

After migrating a DLS 1. Before migrating a standalone DLS instance online, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:. To migrate a standalone DLS instance online, follow this sequence of instructions:. Before migrating an HA cluster of DLS instances online, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:. The virtual appliance for the new secondary DLS instance must have the same IP address as the virtual appliance for the current secondary instance.

When the migration is complete, the DLS instance that you migrated is no longer able to serve licenses to clients. Any time before you confirm the migration, you can enable the DLS instance that you migrated serve licenses to licensed clients again. If necessary, you can also repeat the data migration from the existing DLS instance.

After the data has been transferred, confirm the migration on the new DLS virtual appliance. If the DLS instance is the primary instance in an HA cluster, all data is removed from the secondary DLS instance and the instance is removed from the cluster. As a result, your browser is disconnected from the new DLS virtual appliance. Setting the IP address of the new virtual appliance takes approximately two minutes.

If you want to use the virtual appliance for a single DLS instance, no further action is required. The virtual appliance is ready for use. If you want to use the virtual appliance in an HA cluster of DLS instances, perform the followng sequence of tasks:. The virtual appliance for the new secondary DLS instance must have the same IP address as the virtual appliance for the original secondary instance. Modifications to the existing DLS virtual appliance are blocked until the offline migration process is complete.

After uploading the migration file for the DLS instance that you are migrating, you must generate an upgrade file for the instance. Generating the upgrade file involves generating and uploading the DLS instance token for the new virtual appliance that will host the migrated DLS instance. A DLS instance records events related to administration of the instance and the serving of licenses from the instance to licensed clients.

These events are displayed on the Events page of the instance. You can control the number of events that are displayed on this page by setting the retention period of events on a DLS instance.

Any event older than the retention period is deleted from the instance. To facilitate troubleshooting, the DLS provides access to log files, event records, and the status of a DLS instance’s internal services. The log files for a DLS virtual appliance contain diagnostic information to help with troubleshooting.

The log files for a DLS virtual appliance are in the locations in the following table. Files in the following standard Linux directories contain log messages from the operating system:. If a virtual appliance is configured to store log files for a DLS virtual appliance on a network file share, it periodically aggregates the log files and moves them from the local disk of the DLS virtual appliance to the share. If a DLS instance has failed because its internal services are no longer active, you can restart the inactive services to recover from the failure.

Where to perform the tasks for managing a license server depends on the task and on the type of service instance on which the license server is installed. Perform this task if you need to add or remove individual licenses for a specific product on the license server. You can also add and remove licensed products from a license server.

When you add a licensed product to a license server, you must also set the number of consumed licenses. When a licensed product is removed from a license pool if they are no longer needed or in preparation for migrating them to a new server , all licenses are returned to the license server.

To add licenses to the server, enter a number greater than the number already allocated to the server, but less than or equal to the total number of licenses available. To remove licenses from the server, enter a number less than the number already allocated to the server but greater than 0. For example, to remove 4 licenses from a server to which 10 licenses are allocated, leaving 6 licenses allocated to the server, enter 6 in the Licenses field. If you enter 0 , an error occurs.

You must leave at least 1 license on the license server. If you want to remove all licenses for a product from the license server, you must remove the product from the server by clicking the trash can icon. If the license server is installed on a CLS instance, no further action is required. The returned licenses and products are then available for use by other license servers. To view which Service Instance has been designated as Default :.

If you would like to change which Service Instance is bound as the Default, follow these steps. Each role has a scope that determines whether the role applies to a virtual group within an organization or the organization itself.

If you partition your entitlements into isolated segments, role-based access also provides isolation between the segments into which your entitlements are partitioned. It does so by ensuring that only specific contacts in your organization are allowed to view or perform actions on the entitlements and contacts that are allocated to a virtual group.

Each role has a scope that determines the context to which the actions and capabilities of the role apply, specifically, a virtual group within an organization or the organization itself. Every registered contact has at least one role, but can have multiple roles if the scope of each role is a virtual group. As a result, a contact can be a member of multiple virtual groups.

However, roles with a virtual group scope and roles with an organization scope are mutually exclusive. A contact that has a virtual group role cannot also have an organization role. Each organization must have at least one organization administrator. Multiple organization administrators in an organization are allowed. To prevent the absence of a single user from denying you access to your organization’s entitlements, consider adding at least two organization administrators to your organization.

An organization administrator can manage other contacts in the organization as follows:. An organization administrator also has all the capabilities of an organization user. An organization can have no organization users, only one organization user, or multiple organization users.

An organization user can mange entitlements that have not been assigned to a virtual group as follows:. Each virtual group must have at least one virtual group administrator. Multiple virtual group administrators in a virtual group are allowed. To prevent the absence of a single user from denying you access to a virtual group, consider adding at least two virtual group administrators to each virtual group in your organization.

A virtual group administrator can manage other contacts in the virtual group as follows:. Virtual group administrators cannot remove themselves from a virtual group. Virtual group administrators cannot manage their own roles.

A virtual group administrator also has all the capabilities of a virtual group user. A virtual group can have no virtual group users, only one virtual group user, or multiple virtual group users. A virtual group user can mange entitlements within a virtual group as follows:.

The role to select depends on whether you are adding the contact to an organization or a virtual group. For example, you can change the role from organization user to organization administrator or from virtual group administrator to virtual group user.

However, you cannot change the scope of the contact’s current role, for example, from organization administrator to virtual group user. Virtual groups provide the means for segmenting your organization’s entitlements into partitions.

The virtual groups in an organization are isolated from each other and from the organization. An entitlement cannot be partitioned and cannot be shared between partitions.

All licensed products in an entitlement are moved with the entitlement when the entitlement is added to a virtual group or returned to the organization. You are free to determine how many virtual groups among which to partition your entitlements and what those virtual groups represent. For example, you might create virtual groups to partition your entitlements by location, division, product, or some combination of factors.

Irrespective of how you choose to partition your entitlements among virtual groups, every virtual group isolates the entitlements assigned to it from other virtual groups.

The following diagram shows the relationship between an organization, the virtual groups in an organization, and the components of a virtual group. These tasks require the Organization Administrator role. You must add at least one virtual group administrator to the group. You cannot create a virtual group with no administrators. After you create a virtual group, you can perform only the following operations on the virtual group:.

Other operations on the virtual group require the virtual group administrator or virtual group user role. Delete a virtual group if it is no longer needed. When the group is deleted, all entitlements assigned to the group and any contacts who are members only of this group are returned to the organization. Contacts who are returned to the organization are assigned the organization user role. If you have the Organization Administrator role, you can add a contact to a virtual group in your organization without the need to be a member of the group.

The contact that you add must not have the Organization Administrator role. If you have the Organization Administrator role, you can remove a contact from a virtual group in your organization without the need to be a member of the group. The contact that you remove is returned to the organization and assigned the Organization User role. Remove an entitlement from a virtual group to return it to the organization either to make it available to users at the organization level or to transfer it to a different virtual group.

Ensure that no licensed products in the entitlement that you want to remove have been added to a license server. A common business scenario for virtual groups is a multinational corporation with subsidiaries in which licenses are managed centrally.

The organization administrators are responsible for setting up virtual groups and managing entitlements for the entire organization. The individuals chosen to be organization administrators must understand the organization structure and purchasing process, so that they are capable of routing newly purchased entitlements appropriately. To ensure that someone is always available to move newly purchased entitlements into the correct virtual group, consider designating at least three organization administrators.

To simplify the allocation entitlements to the entity for which they were purchased, consider creating a virtual group for every subsidiary or geographic region, as appropriate. To ensure redundancy at every level in your organization, designate at least two virtual group administrators for each virtual group. After a virtual group is created, its virtual group administrators are free to add contacts who are not organization administrator as required. This work flow consists of several separate phases.

Work through the phases in the order in which they are presented. Binding a License Server to a Service Instance. Intervals in the table are the renewal intervals when a client contacts the CLS instance to request a licensing operation. Burst load performance measures the time that a CLS instance requires to process a specific number of requests received in a specific interval of time.

The reliability of a CLS instance measures the number of failed licensing operations that occur in a specific period of time. To measure the reliability of a CLS virtual appliance, requests to perform licensing operations were continually sent from several licensed clients simultaneously.

A DLS instance is hosted on-premises at a location that is accessible from your private network, such as inside your data center. High availability requires two DLS instances in a failover configuration: A primary DLS instance, which is actively serving licenses to licensed clients A secondary DLS instance, which acts as a backup for the primary DLS instance Configuring two DLS instances in a failover configuration increases availability because simultaneous failure of two instances is rare.

Note: To ensure that licenses in the enterprise remain continually available after failure of the primary DLS instance, return the failed DLS instance to service as quickly as possible to restore high availability support. After failure of a DLS instance, the remaining instance becomes a single point of failure. The hosting platform must be a physical host running a supported hypervisor.

NTP is recommended.
