Maintaining LMP Keys › Adding New LMP Keys

Adding New LMP Keys

When you install a new component or change CPUs, add an LMP key for each installed component in the CALMP KEYS file. The LMP key for the component is valid for all subsequent releases of that component. When upgrading to a new release of CA MIM, the same LMP keys are used; you do not need new LMP keys. An LMP key for a component becomes invalid after the expiration date is reached, or the CPU model and serial number changes.

Add a new component LMP key to the CALMP KEYS file and delete the expiring key. The new LMP key is effective immediately. You can add a new LMP key to this file in one of these ways:

• Using an option from the VMIMAINT Main Menu (if you have a common CALMP KEYS file on the CA VM:Manager VMRMAINT ID)

  Or

• Manually editing the CALMP KEYS file

For information on using the VMIMAINT Main Menu to enter LMP keys, see the CA VM:Manager Management Suite Installation Guide. For information on manually entering LMP keys in the CALMP KEYS file, see Editing the CALMP Keys File.
