Hi Team,
In the license usage report,
For a specific country it is showing that it is using 16# processor licenses.But this is incorrect, it should be #8. Can you help us out, why as the result (or the calculation of Sam Pro) is incorrect, not trustworthy, because
• Äccording to Oracle:
4.4 Virtualized servers
Oracle does not recognize virtualization technology and it is not permitted as a means to determine or limit the number of software licenses required for any given server or cluster of servers within your environment. This means that if virtualization technology (like VMware) is used where Oracle software is installed and/or running, all the physical cores within the vCenter need to be counted and licensed. So it is important to note that one Oracle install within the wrong vCenter can have great financial consequences!
When there is a combination between on prem with VMware> whole vCenter needs to be licensed: vcenter cores*processor core factor table .
Oracle's licensing policies for VMware environments require that all physical processors in a cluster be licensed if any Oracle software is running on a virtual machine (VM) within that cluster.
Therefore we are not counting with the vCPUS assigned to vms.
In our case there are 16 cores (2 esx hosts with 8-8 ) with core factor 0.5’’
So it should be 8.
Can someone throw some more light on this one.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Suvro
