Spirent TestCenter: What is the difference between Virtual LabServer, Session Manager, Virtual License Server and Virtual Licensing with AION?
Environment/Versions
Spirent TestCenter
Virtual LabServer
vLS
Session Manager
Virtual License Server
Virtual Controller
Virtual Licensing with AION
Answer
Generally speaking, this is the explanation for each:
1. Spirent Virtual LabServer
Spirent TestCenter LabServer (a.k.a “Spirent
vLS
”) is a virtual machine deployed with off-the-shelf hypervisors that provide the solution that eliminates the need for a dedicated test management console computer and supports team collaboration during testing. With this solution, the test logic moves from the local PC to the Virtual LabServer virtual machine. This LabServer is managed through the Spirent application called “
Session Manager
”
This is a graphical representation:

2. Spirent Virtual License Server
Spirent Virtual License Server (a.k.a “
Virtual Controller
”) is also a virtual machine that basically manages/control licenses. The license server is only required if you are using a virtual chassis and it is optional for physical chassis. So, on this VM you install the licenses that serves the virtual ports licenses, hence through the normal GUI the virtual ports would check for licenses needed in bulk through a connection with the License Server.
