[CentOS] CPU Limit in Centos

2015-11-21 Thread Edward Ned Harvey (centos)
A few years ago, I vaguely recall some issue with RHEL needing a special 
license or something like that, if you had more than a certain amount of CPU's 
or a certain amount of RAM.

Does Centos work fine for 2 CPU's, 16 cores, 32 threads, and 256 G of ram?

Centos6 specifically.

I have CentOS 6 box with 4 CPUs, 64 CPU cores and 512 GB of RAM... for
about two years. Runs great.

BUT on C6 for an AMD processor (x86_64) = 3TB/64TB RAM, so I am not
complaining even though I can not afford to buy 3 TB of RAM and a
suitable motherboard :-)

This affects only 32bit installations. 64bit installation supports up to 
64TB.

Gaah!  Sorry. I looked at x86 and not x86_64. So that answers that.

But the question still stands - In the past, I think there was a limitation of 
RHEL ES, and if you went over that, you needed RHEL AS.

As far as I can tell, there is no such distinction (and never has been) in 
centos. For that matter, as I browse redhat.com right now, it's not clear that 
they have any such distinction anymore either.
