Description

The Exasol license contains a field called “max_db_mem_size_in_gb”, which defines how much DB RAM all the running Exasol databases can occupy. However, the checks for this field were done incorrectly, allowing the user to use more DB RAM than allowed by the license.

Workaround

There is no workaround.

Fix

Fixed the checks for “max_db_mem_size_in_gb” license limit in several places:

  • Fixed the DB RAM check in license_run_check ConfD job
  • Fixed the DB RAM check when a database was started up
  • Fixed the DB RAM check when a worker cluster was being added in AWS native deployments
  • Fixed the DB RAM check in the healthd service
