We are running our license manager on one machine to serve PGI licenses to users on multiple clusters. I’m starting to re-evaluate how this tool is managed. We use RPM for the installations, and have been doing a full PGI install on the license server machine, but it seems excessive.
Experimented making an RPM to include just the /bin directory, but since that includes all the compiler tools per se, PGI and RPM are a little worried about possible dependencies.
Next experiment is to explicitly select only the tools I need. Some are obvious:
lmgrd
lmutil
pgroupd
A few others look like I should include them just in case:
change-pgi-hostid
pghostid
pglicinfo
Is this really all I need? Plus the license file, of course.
Will this work?
