Surely if the partitioning thing is the concern, we could just used capped zones??

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.

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.
