This page describes how licensing works in a WEKA cluster.
Last updated
A license is a legal instrument governing the usage terms of the WEKA cluster. When a license is applied to a WEKA cluster, the cluster verifies the license validity by comparing the license properties and the actual cluster usage.
The license terms include the following properties:
Cluster GUID that is created during the installation
Expiry date (usage period)
Raw or usable hot-tier (SSD) capacity
Object store capacity
Data Efficiency Option (DEO) license (if provided)
The WEKA cluster license page displays the license properties: license mode, expiry date, raw or usable drive capacity, and object store capacity.
The following example shows a classic license mode. The Pay As You Go (PAYG) license is deprecated and is no longer available to new customers.
Procedure
From the menu, select Configure > Cluster Settings.
From the Cluster Settings pane, select License.
You can display the license status using one of the following commands:
weka cluster license: Displays the license properties.
weka status: Displays the weka status, license status, and expiry date.
weka alerts: If no license is assigned to the cluster, the command displays a relevant alert.
Example: License status using the weka cluster license command
Example: Display the license status using the weka status command
Example: License status when the cluster does not have a valid license
Example: License status using the weka alerts command for a cluster without an assigned license
