What Can I Do If the CBH System License Is About to Expire or Has Expired?

If a CBH instance is about to expire or has expired, renew the instance on the Huawei Cloud console to obtain a new license file and update the license.

Symptom

Prerequisites

  • You have obtained the username and password for logging in to the management console and the permissions to operate CBH.
  • Access to port 9443 is allowed by the firewall rules and in the outbound direction of the security group to which your CBH instance belongs. Otherwise, the renewal may fail.
  • If your CBH instance version is V3.3.2.0 or earlier, bind an EIP to the CBH instance. Otherwise, the renewal may fail.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Choose Security & Compliance > Cloud Bastion Host.
  3. Click the instance to be renewed and choose More > Renew in the Operation column to go to the page for renewal.
