5th Step: Installing the Operations Center Collector Licenses

You will need the following information to correctly license all Collectors in the deployment:

• Each Collector appliance's required feature licenses (Full NetMRI, or Automation Change Management (ACM)).
• The number of licensed devices that each Collector is expected to manage.

In an OC deployment, each NetMRI Collector license is provided from the Infoblox Support Portal. Before the NetMRI Collector licenses are installed, Collector appliances operate as standalone NetMRI appliances.

To install an Operations Center Collector License:

1. Obtain an Operations Center license from Infoblox.
2. Upload the license file provided by Infoblox into the admin account's /Backup directory using WinSCP or a similar program.
3. Log into the administrative shell, enter the license <NameOfLicenseFile> command, and then press Enter.
   The NetMRI service restarts without rebooting the appliance. NetMRI resumes operation after several minutes of processing.
4. Continue to the next section, 6th Step: Registering NetMRI Collectors.
