Disable Metering Check

The metering instructions and hot fix allows you to continue to have grids after EOL.

• Disabling the connection to the metering server.
• Downloading and installing hot fix 9466 for grids3.x and 2.9.9 grids.

Note: This following procedure applies to CA AppLogic 3.x and the BFC server.

3.x Recommended Procedure

• Download and import the hot fix 9466 to your BFC server. For additional information, please refer to the Hot Fixes section of the Release Notes.
• Follow the following instructions for disabling the metering check on the BFC server.
• Install the hot fix on your existing grids.
• Install the hot fix when creating new grids.

Disable the Metering Check for 3.x

Follow these steps:

1. Connect to the BFC node command line.
2. Change directory to the BFC installed directory, using one of the following:

   /opt/bfc/applogic_versions

   <BFC_INSTALL_PATH>/applogic_versions

3. Create an empty file named grm-disabled

   After these steps are followed, a subsequently created grid will display the following GUI message:

   Grid metering is not configured correctly. Please contact support for assistance.
   

   Once you implement the mandatory hot fix 9466 the message does not display. Hot fix 9466 stops the metering server from collecting and reporting data to the configured metering server, this message does not display.
