Fortunately the licences issue is simple.
The rules state that the sum of licences of all VMs on a node is capped at the
number of sockets that server has.
So if you have 9 VMs using a mixture of different core counts each then you do
not need more than 2 client licences if all hosted on a standard two socket
server.

hi all,we are examining the possibility to give VMs access to GPFS mounted
onthe hypervisors. (use cases are readonly or read-mostly access to thedata on
gpfs, the hypervisors have IB, the vms not yet; and we have noidea how to
handle possible explosion of gpfs client licenses if wemount gpfs inside the
VMs ;)has anyone experience with using the 9p filesystem passthrough and
gpfswith qemu/kvm?many
thanks,stijn_______________________________________________gpfsug-discuss
