The add-ons are for pretty specific use cases. You likely don't need any
of them unless you are going to use Red Hat's clustering product, need
to load balance but don't have something like an F5, or are going to
create an enormous single filesystem, etc. Each of the add-ons is
described here:

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?
Thanks,
Andre

DL580 is a 4-socket system. That is how it should be licensed.

Hi Everyone,
We are looking at buying RHEL Server to work with our newly
acquired NetApp Storage Area Network (connected via fibre channel).
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!
Andre
