My limited experience is that Oracle is licensed per physical CPU, no matter the number of virtual servers.

We currently have 2 cecs and 4 lpars (running 18 shared IFLs in total). We currently have 2 oracle servers in production (both on the same lpar). We have been told that we need to have at least one oracle server on each lpar (in other words- 3 dummy servers). I would like to know how the licensing works in other organizations. Any comments ? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ *************************************************************************** The information contained in this communication is confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
