Oracle Licensing

2015-02-25 Thread Kevin Gates
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 only pay

Re: Question regarding Oracle Licensing

2009-08-16 Thread Phil Tully
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.

Question regarding Oracle Licensing

2009-08-11 Thread James Peddycord
I was on a conference call with a couple of Oracle techs who said that Oracle is licensed on a per core basis, so that each IFL on a z/10 would count as 4 full price Oracle licenses. Has anyone else had experience with this? Is this correct? Thanks, Jim P.

I would recommend talking to an Oracle representative directly about this because there tends to float a whole lot of information around (sometimes even by techs) that may or may not be entirely accurate. Best bet is to go to the source. Kris On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 04:16:42PM -0500,
