A question about standby licensing
Hello,
Let's say I have two IBM Power6 systems which both have 6 cores on them. One of them is production, that uses 4 cores. The other one is standby and uses only 1 core. They are both capped LPARs. Oracle recognizes LPAR capping, so I have to buy 5 Oracle EE licenses for this two instances.
But what if production fails and I activate the standby database? Can I use this standby (new primary) database up to 5 cores? Can I increase its CPU capacity without violating license?
Kind regards,
