Server edition 9.0.6 expansion gateway not pulling license

[d00ner62]

Hello there

I have a virtual server deployed with a "ip offfice SE virtual" license attached to it that say valid. I also have another SE (regular) server license attached to the primary server that is suppose to be for the gateway. I have created an expansion gateway using a brand new 500 v2 with an sd card that i recreated in 9.0.6 and then when igniting i set it as "branch/expansion" and told it what its ip address is and what the servers ip is. The thing came up green in server manager, but when i look at the h323 trunk in system status on hte gateway, it says "unlicensed disabled". Im not sure why. In the resources area of system status it says "reserved needed 1" and reserved alloctaed 0.

It must be a server edition expansion and not branch/expansion. These must be linked to Aura Session Manager and pulls it license from Aura WebLM.

Sorry, it is a server edition expansion

If the expansion knows the correct address of it's license server (primary server) then it is probably a network issue.

When you have a virtual server then you need virtual SE licenses for all systems.
You cannot use a normal SE license for the gateways if the primary server is a virtual server.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

@tlpeter
I'm pretty sure that is not correct. I installed a server edition on a DL360 in 8.1 upgraded it to 9.0 And replaced that HP server with a virtual primary server. The licenses were all swapped to the new System ID and the only license we ordered new was one virtual server edition license. And it works fine.

I am pretty sure.
I have asked Avaya and they say the same.

That's an expensive and easy mistake to make then

I just ran a quick design through ASD and I got a virtual SE license and two regular SE licenses when specifying two server edition expansions (500V2) connecting to a virtual server. I only have one virtual SE system in the field, and that has two virtual SE licenses and three regular SE licenses as it has a virtual primary, virtual secondary and three V2s.

Virtual SE licenses are for virtual servers only. The other SE keys are for physical call servers in the solution.

So if you had 1 virtual IPOSE and 3 IP500's hanging off it as expansions, you'd need 1 virtual SE license and 3 "physical" SE licenses.

If you build it in ASD, it'll give you the correct licensing as described as well.

 

[tlpeter]

That is not what is told to me but OK if this is how it is
I actually only have installed two SE's
One on a hardware server inhouse and one virtual (also inhouse)

Got it working

All licensing does go on the vritual boX

Like everything with avaya, in just blew it up and did it again and all of a sudden it worked that time
