CISCO PRIME INFRASTRUCTURE H.A LICENSING

[Jorge Plata Vivanco]

Hello.

When i configure by first time Cisco Prime 2.2 with a license for 300 devices and i made the H.A with other server in the same PRIME VERSION.

i did not install a license for H.A and the H.A is working, no problems.

But i read in the guide that i need a H.A license if the cisco prime is a new deployment.

Can you help me with this doubt??

Thanks a lot for your time

Only one Prime Infrastructure server license must be purchased; there is no need to purchase a license for the secondary Prime Infrastructure server. The secondary server will use the license from the primary when a failover occurs. The secondary node will simulate the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) information of the primary; thus the secondary server will be able to use the synchronized license from the primary server when the secondary server is active.

The same Prime Infrastructure license file resides on both the primary and secondary Prime Infrastructure servers. Because the Prime Infrastructure JVM is only running on the primary or secondary (not both), the license file is only active on one system at a given point in time.
