VirtualisingWithout Fully Understanding The Implications

Oracle simplifies server partitioning into two groups:Hard Paritioning
Soft Partitioning

Hard PartitioningIs recognised

Software ParitioningIs not (unless it's Oracle VM)

How your VCenter is set up, the clusters, the VMs, the storage architecture all have an
impact on licensing.cc: @Doug88888 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/29468339@N02
It's what Oracle say that counts not what the virtualisation vendors say

We advise that you assume you need to be licensed fully and then check to see if your scenario falls under FAILOVER
and whether the 10 DAY RULE applies.

If Primary and Secondary nodes share
a SAN, with the secondary node acting as a failover, only the Primary needs to be
licensed. This is valid as long as the failover to
the secondary lasts less than 10 days per year,
which includes any testing.

Don't Mix Metrics• A common mistake is believing that
Named User Plus licenses can be used for the backup site
• Instead ring fence the DR servers contractually and negotiate a reduced cost for this license pool.
• Also make sure that the options and management packs are licensed

Non Prod/TestEnvironments not licensed
cc: Leo Reynolds - https://www.flickr.com/photos/49968232@N00
You DO NEED a valid license for development environments, test environments, and any
pre-production environments.

Beware• Use of OTN licenses does not necessarily
mean you are licensed correctly for Development environments.
• If you have an application in production then the ALL the Test and pre prod environments need a licence
• Named User Plus licenses may be an option or ring fence and negotiate different terms

OTN License Grant "..limited license to internally use the Programs, .. only for the purpose of developing, testing,
prototyping, and demonstrating Your application and only as long as Your application has not been used for any data
processing, business, commercial, or production purposes, and not for any other purpose.."

Enterprise Manager OptionsInstalled But Not Purchased

DO NOT assume that the number of Named User Plus licenses relates directly to the total
number of the users of the system in use

25 Named UsersPer Licensable Processor is the minimum

Let's have a Quiz!• Non-production environment used
for staging on Enterprise Edition• Accessed by x 1 DBA, x 1 Financials
Functional Consultant and x 1 Financials Developer.
• Runs on 2 intel servers each with 8 cores

How many
Named User Plus (NUPS) Licenses are needed? cc: milos milosevic - https://www.flickr.com/photos/21496790@N06
It's not 3 Named Users (NUPS)
cc: Greenmonster - https://www.flickr.com/photos/53904676@N00
The Answer is
(16 cores x 0.5 intel core factor) x 25 minimum users per processor cc: Eva the Weaver - https://www.flickr.com/photos/16324044@N00
Summary1. Virtualising without knowing the
implications2. DR scenarios not licensed correctly3. Non prod and Test not licensed4. Enterprise Management Options
installed by default and not purchased5. Named User Minimums misunderstood
