Configuration of lmadmin
Once the lmadmin service is launched, you have to must configure it.:
Open a navigator and access the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:8090 (
...
if you launched the navigator on your server)
...
You should obtain the following page

...
If you encounter any issues, please contact NaxoXplore Support
Configuration of Variables
When launching NanoXplore tools, the
...
LM_LICENCE_FILE variable must be exported
...
...
To avoid having to repeat this for every execution, you can to add it in the ~/.bashrc file with the following
...
command:
Code Block <port_number>@<machine_name>For instance:
Code Block export LM_LICENCE_FILE=2700@localhost
Troubleshooting
LogFile
Linux
You can check the execution log file in the following directory if you use the service nxlmd:
Code Block $> /var/log/NXLMD.logIf you use the lmadmin service
...
, you can check the execution log file in the following directory:
Code Block $> /opt/NanoXplore/NXLMD/2.2/bin/lmadmin/logs/NXLMD.log
Windows
You can check the execution log files in:
Code Block $> C:\NanoXplore\NXLMD\2.2\bin\lmadmin\logs
lmadmin (Linux)
If you have the following message in the /opt/NanoXplore/NXLMD/2.2/bin/lmadmin/logs/web.log:
Code Block [alert] getpwuid: couldn't determine user name from uid 4294967295
You probably have launched lmadmin as root.
Try to launch it as another user (dedicated lmadmin for example)
...
Be sure that this user is the owner of the /opt/NanoXplore/NXLMD directory
...
lmhostid (Linux)
If you have the following message in the execution log file (for example):
Code Block Wrong hostid on SERVER line for license file: ${MY_LICENSE_FILE} SERVER lines says 08002780463d, hostid is (Can't get hostid of type 2 []) Invalid hostid on SERVER line
...
With:
${MY_LICENSE_FILE} = ${MY_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD/2.2/license.lic
You probably have
...
the wrong network interface
...
(see previous sections
...
for more information on how to change this)
If you want to check the hostid found by NXLMD without running the server, you can use the following command:
Code Block $> ${MY_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD/2.2/bin/lmhostidYou
...
must get a full hostid with ${HOSTID} not empty:
Code Block The FlexNet host ID of this machine is "${HOSTID}"
lmstat (Linux)
You can check that NanoXplore License Manager Daemon runs correctly using the following command:
Code Block $> ${MY_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD/2.2/bin/lmstat -a
GLIBC
...
Problem (Linux)
If you have the following error message:
NXLMD: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by NXLMD)You have to change the links in
...
the ${MY_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD/2.2/bin directory to your OS version
...
, for example:
Code Block lmgrd -> x86_64_UBUNTU_18/lmgrd lmhostid -> x86_64_UBUNTU_18/lmhostid lmstat -> x86_64_UBUNTU_18/lmstat lmutil -> x86_64_UBUNTU_18/lmutil NXLMD -> x86_64_UBUNTU_18/NXLMD
hostname problem (Linux)
You can check that you have your hostname written in the file:
/etc/hosts.
Firewall
...
Problem
Linux
If you have a firewall set, you must add a specific rule for the lmgrd
...
Port (27000 by default
...
) and for the NXLMD
...
Port
You can manually specify the NXLMD
...
Port in the License File, for example, to set the port to 27010:
Code Block $> DAEMON NXLMD ${MY_BIN_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD PORT=27010
with ${MY_BIN_DIRECTORY} = ${MY_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY}/NXLMD/2.2/bin/Do not forget
| Info |
|---|
Please remember to add a rule for this port too |
...
Windows
If the Windows firewall is enabled, you
...
must authorise lmadmin and lmgrd
...
At the first launch of the server, Windows will ask you if you
...
wish to
...
authorise the service
...
Otherwise, you can manually add them in the firewall parameters.
...
“No such file or
...
directory” Error (Linux)
If you have the following message when launching ‘journalctl –xe’ command:
...
The ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 file is probably missing.
Run the following command to check it:
Code Block $> ls -l /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64*If there is no result, run the following command:
Code Block $> sudo ln -s /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
