Not sure I can be of much help but:
On a version 7 system I had to write new licence types to deal with Oracle licensing. The licensing was complex - counts based on physical server cores for VMs, LPARs treated as physical machines, etc. The out-of-the-box license types were not able to do this. I'm not sure what you mean when you say ADDM is pushing clubbed info. I would expect ADDM to create CI's for each of the instances it discovers but I haven't worked with ADDM for a while so don't know what it is doing now. The license engine would then use these CI's in its compliance calculation Cheers Peter From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Saraswat, Praveen Sent: 10 June 2014 12:19 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Oracle License Count Issue ** Hi All, We are facing License Count Issue during ADDM and CMDB Integration Below is the problem statement Oracle Licensing model : Current Challenge : ADDM is pushing clubbed information for Oracle database instances which are grouped by version number. For e.g. If node A has 25 instances 5 with Oracle 11g, 10 with Oracle 10g , 5 with Oracle EE 11g and 5 without Oracle version. ADDM will club them based on version/Release and will send 4 products to CMDB namely Oracle database 10g, Oracle database 11g, Oracle database EE 11g and Oracle database. When we create OOTB per core License model for Oracle product, it consider all these as different products and compute 4 times the actual License value. Customer Expectation : Customer need to compute the CU value per sever core multiplier based instead on per core multiplier based. They want SAM to consider all oracle versions as one single product per server and compute accordingly. They also need report of per node calculation to validate the license details. Even after using Suite rollup algorithms in addition to Version Roll Up , we are not able to achieve the desired result. Has anyone faced similar kind of issue earlier? Thoughts are welcome.
