In a nutshell you must :
1. Put a
whole-core constraint on ldom -> using
set-core for number of cores paid.
If you have say, 16 VCPU, that's 2 core on T5-4, so you will use that number and set-core option, instead of set-vcpu.
2. Use a
max-cores constraint with maximum number of cores paid.
3. Live migration is not to be used (this is quite dumb in my opinion).
T5-4 will cost you a 0.5 factor per core (this document is kept recent) :

Factor here is type of software (enterprise, standard db etc.)
A document with list prices :
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/p...ist-070617.pdf
So if you assign 2 core (
set-core and
max-cores) on ldom on T5-4 machine, you will have to pay oracle 1 processor licence to be compliant.
All above is subject to a change, so one should pay attention to those documents above every licence cycle.
Hope that helps
