3 vsphere 5 licensing: Evolution Without Disruption vsphere 4.x vsphere 5 Licensing Unit Processor = Processor! Core per proc Restricted < Unlimited Physical RAM Restricted < Unlimited per host Amt of vram pooled Pooled vram NA across entire entitlement environment

4 What is vram? vram is the memory configured to a virtual machine Assigning a certain amount of vram is a required step in the creation of a virtual machine

5 Key vram Concepts 1 Each vsphere 5 processor license comes with certain amount of vram entitlement 2 3 Pooled vram Entitlement Consumed vram Sum of all processor license entitlements Sum of vram configured into all powered on VMs MAX 96 GB 4 Compliance = 12 month rolling average of Consumed vram < Pooled vram Entitlement

15 Pro Sparisce il vincolo del numero di core per CPU Chi ha la licenza Advanced passa alla Enterprise (attenzione alle manutenzioni!) Su tutte le versioni si hanno VM con 8 vcpu E palese che le VM costano Il dimensionamento delle VM diventa un attività fondamentale Ci vuole un tecnico per fare un offerta ;-), design, design, design! La vram non è per host ma per pool di host gestiti dalla stesso vcenter (ma solo per versioni omogenee), vcenter in Linked Mode = unico pool!

16 Contro Vincoli delle versioni Essential sono bloccanti e non superabili Occorre fare bene i conti per chi ha server con molta RAM o con forte rateo di consolidamento Per fare una quotazione non bastano più le sole info sui server fisici Gli AK sono cambiati (tutti hanno il vcenter Standard, ma la versione con Enterprise plus passa da 8 a 6 CPU Se uno è bravo a sfruttare la RAM fisica non ha nessun vantaggio, anzi Le novità importanti sono state portate solo sulla Enterprise Plus Nessuna feature è stata declassata Gli appliance virtuali di gestione (vcenter, Data Recovery, vshield, vsa, ecc) pesano sul licensing! Storage Appliance si paga a parte
