My suggestion for this question is that it should be directed to your IBM sales team and not the Spectrum Scale support team.  My reading of the information you provided is that your processor counts as 2 cores.  As for the PVU value my guess is that at a minimum it is 50 but again that should be a question for your IBM sales team.

But that would require either being able to call a sales representative who understands what you are talking about or for a sales representative to call you back.

Both options seem to be next to impossible hence my question.


One other option is to switch from processor based licensing for Scale to storage (TB) based licensing.  I think one of the reasons for storage based licensing was to avoid issues like the one you are raising.


Techincally it's for a Spectrum Protect license for the node that backs up the Spectrum Scale system. The DSS-G is on disk based licensing so that's not a problem.

However the PVU per machine is the same between the two and given the difficulties actually getting someone in sales to talk on the subject I thought I might ask here.
