Sub-capacity Licensing Requirements Summary
Current list of eligible programs and supported virtualization and processor technologies
available on Passport Advantage
Please note: Customers are responsible for the installation of the upcoming IBM license metric tool and for the
server it runs on. While required use of the current IBM license management tool is temporarily suspended,
customers remain responsible for acquiring sufficient quantities of license authorizations to comply with the sub-
capacity offering terms.
Customers must agree to the terms of the sub-capacity attachment
Customers must use eligible IBM programs with sub-capacity part numbers
Customers must use eligible virtualization technology
Customers must use eligible processor technology
Install IBM license metric tool when it becomes available (mid 2008)
Identify processor type and number of processor cores
Identify IBM software deployed on servers
Calculate PVUs required based on high water mark processor capacity available

License Counting: HP-UX nPars
License entitlements required are based on processor core capacity available to the
software in the nPartitions (nPars)
Each nPAR has a minimum of 1 Cell. A cell or cell board is a module or housing that
may contain up to four processors (chips).
Note: Each nPar in this example has a Cell with 4 single-core processors, for a total of 4 cores per nPar and
12cores for server
For the example below:
WebSphere Application Server (WAS): PVUs for 8 cores need to be licensed
DB2 Enterprise Server Edition (DB2): PVUs for 8 cores need to be licensed

License counting with dynamic vPars (I)
HP-UX OS provides the capability to dynamically move processor core resources between vPars
(Virtual Partitions).
Customer must acquire PVUs for the highest* number of processor core capacity available to the IBM
software

Definitions & Parameters
Cell:
A cell or cell board is a module that primarily houses processors, memory, and the cell controller
application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Up to four processor (chips) are contained in a cell.
Hard Partition (nPar)
Offer electrical and software isolation. Each nPar contains one or more cells (containing processors and
memory) that are assigned to the partition for its exclusive use.
Absolute minimum is one cell. The cell does not have to be fully populated (e.g. can have just one
processor (chip).
Any changes to the number of cores requires a reconfiguration and reboot of the hard partition
Virtual Partition (vPar)
are separate operating system instances on the same nPartition or system with operating system,
application, and resource isolation.
HP-UX 11i Virtual Partition enable you to dynamically move processing power between vPars as your
workload requirements change.
You can allocate cores to a vPar down to a granularity of a single core
Absolute minimum number of cores = 1. Per vPar minimum number of cores is configurable. Changes to the per-
vPar minimum requires a reboot of the vPar.
Absolute maximum number of cores for a vPar = ( Total number of cores on the system minus number of cores
associated with other vPars on the system). Per vPar maximum number of cores is configurable. Changes to the
per-vPar maximum requires a reboot of the .

Definitions & Parameters
HP Integrity Virtual Machines
Is a software partitioning product that provides virtualization of resources, shared
CPU, shared I/O, and resourcing based on demand and entitlement for HP
Integrity servers running HP-UX 11i v2.
HP Integrity VM provides the ability to allocate CPU and I/O to an application at a
granularity less than that of the physical hardware yet keeps applications
separate from one another in their own operating system instance.
Integrity VM virtualizes the processing cores and software for the guest
operating systems running on virtual CPUs in the virtual machine. A virtual CPU
represents no more than one processor core.
You can allocate cores to a Integrity VM down to a granularity of a single core
Absolute minimum of vCPUs (cores) = 1 core
Current absolute maximum of vCPUs (cores) = 4 cores
The entitlement (share of physical core per vCPU) may be changed dynamically in
a range from 5% to 100%. This does not impact licensing. A single physical core
can support up to 20 virtual machines
