While NetApp Filers can't run opnet licenses, we've had the associated files on Filers for some months (years?). Works fine.
Does anyone out there run a unix Opnet license server on their filer?
The Opnet licenses know where they're installed and if you restore a disk, they will no longer work (because now they're in a different place). Right. Been there, annoyed at that. Here you are trying to put the system (before they were on a filer, as it happened) back together for your users after a crash, and these people's (censored) license scheme wants faxes and (censored) to be able to work again. I don't know of Opnet uses the inode number to do this or what.
I don't know either. The workaround is to schedule your crashes ahead of time, and use the opnet web-interface to release (or whatever) the licenses prior to the crash, then re-install afterward.
