Running SLM

After you install TADDM, you can execute the SLM scripts using TADDM user, taddmusr.

slmTag.sh for UNIX and UNIX-like systems or slmTag.bat for Windows machines present in the directory /opt/IBM/taddm/dist/bin is used to generate license metric tag files.

Default paths will look something like below:
/opt/IBM/taddm/dist/bin/slmTag.sh – on Linux
C:\IBM\taddm\dist\bin\slmTag.bat – on Windows

The SLM tracking tool records and writes the license metrics to tag file (.slmtag). SLM tag file is located in the "slmTag" sub-directory under TADDM root directory ($COLLATION_HOME, e.g. /opt/IBM/taddm/dist/).

For using the SLM tool, some key SLM commands are:
[COLLATION_HOME/bin directory] ./slmTag.sh
[taddmusr@pnc162201 bin]$ ./slmTag.sh
Starting...
Status: SUCCESS
[taddmusr@pnc162201 bin]$
Above command generates the .slmTag file:
[COLLATION_HOME/slmTag directory]
[taddmusr@pnc162201 slmTag]$ pwd
/opt/IBM/taddm/dist/slmTag
[taddmusr@pnc162201 slmTag]$
[taddmusr@pnc162201 slmTag]$ ll

You can check the slm logs under slmTag directory in COLLATION_HOME/log direcotory
[COLLATION_HOME/log/slmTag/ directory]
[taddmusr@pnc162201 slmTag]$ pwd
/opt/IBM/taddm/dist/log/slmTag
[taddmusr@pnc162201 slmTag]$

Note:

SLM tag generation scripts MUST be executed, only on the Primary Storage Server.

SLM tag file will also be generated on the PSS only.
