Eh? I thought zones and LDOM were license boundaries for cores. You can't license a fractional core. A 5240 core with 8 'cpu' is a license unit.
Everyone else recognizes that if you can't see the core it isn't licensed. A cap isn't the same as dedicated. I have zones which only have 2 cores and we license accordingly even though there are 16 cores on the machine they're used for other stuff. -----Original Message----- From: ldoms-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org [mailto:ldoms-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of John Falkenthal Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2011 1:24 PM To: hung-sheng tsao Cc: ldoms-discuss-confidential...@oracle.com; ldoms-supp...@sun.com; ldoms-discuss@opensolaris.org Subject: Re: [ldoms-discuss] Announcing Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.1 On 6/8/11 10:20 AM, hung-sheng tsao wrote: > Hi > I still did not see any statement > On ldom can contain the oracle license or not Hung-Sheng... the absence of a direct statement regarding hard partition licensing is because there is no change at this time. Oracle does not recognize OVM Server for SPARC (LDoms) as a license boundary for software. This decision could change at anytime in the future, and is not tied to having a new release of OVM Server for SPARC.
