Hi, My understanding is that having 5 IFLs on each LPAR would mean you'd have to license all 10 IFLs on the box; the total of 20 logical IFLs would be dispatched on all 10 physical IFLs.
I believe that if your total logical IFLs is 5 or less then you would be OK; only 5 physical IFLs worth could be running at any one time. Your second example should also be OK for the same reason. This is purely my own personal understanding and shouldn't be relied upon in any arguments with Oracle!

This machine come with 10 IFLs. 4 LPARs will be created and z/VM ver 6.4 and SUSE Linux will run on top of it. I have some issue regarding the Oracle license. Company only bought 5 oracle license for this year and will buy the remaining 5 license next year. In the HMC, can we give 5 IFL to all LPAR:- LPAR1 = 5 IFL LPAR2 = 5 IFL LPAR3 = 5 IFL LPAR4 = 5 IFL or we should setup like this;- LPAR1 = 2 IFL LPAR2 = 1 IFL LPAR3 = 1 IFL LPAR4 = 1 IFL I don't want to have any issue with the auditor team later on. Please give some advice...
