Thanks John and Edmund for your replies. I didn't buy the servers or set them up. Someone had told me we had 6 CPU's x 4 cores. However, I just checked with the guy who set them up and he clarified that they have 4 CPU's x 6 cores so 4 socket it is. My bad!
Any feedback on the add-ons?

That is how it should be licensed.

Our servers are HP DL580's and they have 6 CPU's. The RHEL licensing is confusing, can anyone explain it? The sell a 2 or 4 socket version, we have 6 what happens in that case? What about all the add-on's: · High Availability · Resilient Storage · Load Balancer · Scalable File System Add-On · High Performance Add-On · Smart Management Add-On I remember when buying an OS was an easy thing. Thanks for anyone that can offer some information, I figured I would reach out here first before talking the their Sales "engineers". Thanks for your time!
