Hello Alan, Oracle licensing is core based and an IFL is one core. If you have 18 IFLs, but only 3 in the LPAR that hosts Oracle you need only pay for 3 licenses. You do not have to have any `dummy' Oracle servers running in other LPARS, the number of VMs does not matter, etc. You onl

Maybe in Brazil, but as shown below a z10 is 1 Oracle license, there are other machines which cost 1/2 and 1/4 Oracle license, there are also other machines which also cost 1 Oracle license. To say it cost 4 times as much as a Sun T1 is correct, to say it cost 4 Oracle licenses is not. Andrew
