Isn't the ibm tool just for z/os and at the LPAR level? nothing to do with what goes on inside z/vm. nothing to do with what goes on inside linux for specific licensing.
I've been asked to provide such information by another vendor, and that function will be released shortly. This allows the 4 hour rolling average for linux servers (x or z), pools of linux servers, groups of linux servers, and can be done for applications inside linux as well. It can also be used for VSE if anyone cares. So I've led the horse to water. On 4/12/2018 6:55 PM, Timothy Sipples wrote:
IBM already has a sub-capacity accounting tool for Linux on Z and LinuxONE: the IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT). ILMT is already facilitating sub-capacity licensing of IBM software products on Linux on Z and LinuxONE. Details here: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20License%20Metric%20Tool ILMT is also available for (and common on) Windows, AIX, Linux on X86, etc. And it's a no charge, supported tool. I don't know if IMLT allows non-IBM software accounting, but that seems like a great idea to me if it's not already available. Try here if you want/need to lodge a Request for Enhancement (RFE): https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/?BRAND_ID=301 Be sure to look for preexisting ILMT RFEs that might be similar before opening a new one. IBM also already has sub-capacity licensing for z/VM, also via ILMT.
