Full Discussion: AIX Virtualization Rights
Operating Systems AIX AIX Virtualization Rights Post 302960414 by raphaelmsx on Sunday 15th of November 2015 08:31:53 AM

It's not bought yet, and I need enterprise edition because of all the extra software bundled, specially Tivoli Monitoring.

It's only one server now for testing purposes, later it will be a large cluster of servers.

Oh, and how about the licensing for virtualizing AIX in LPARs?

Is it necessary one license for each LPAR with AIX installed?

Thanks for the answers!

when you bought the server, you bought licenses with it. usually you buy AIX and PowerVM licenses for the whole server. I know, it is possible to buy AIX licenses only for some cores, but I don't think it is possible to buy PowerVM licenses for a part of a server.

you write, that you've bought AIX licenses for 4 cores. It means that you can use AIX on all of the cores. It doesn't matter how many LPARs you create. You can have 1 LPAR, 4 LPARs or 80 LPARs on the server.

The redbooks says about "dedicated partitions". It is not technically correct wording, but it means LPARs with dedicated CPUs. If you have a server with maximum 8 cores, you can create up to 8 LPARs with dedicated CPUs. In this case you are physically limited to number of CPUs you have in the box. If you don't plan to use dedicated CPUs, you can create up to 80 LPARs on your particular server.
