Hello,
I've been searching for a definitive answer on how to determine the number of cores in an LPAR that require DB licensing. (I'm only working on a method to validate compliance for processor-based DB licenses here.) I've come up empty in my search through official Oracle documentation on how to do this, but from what I read on an IBM site, it appears I can execute "lparstat -i | grep -i -e type -e mode -e entitled". From what I understand, if type = dedicated then the "Entitled Capacity" field will be the number of cores requiring licenses. If type = Shared and mode = Capped, then the value of the roundup(Entitled Capacity field * 10) should be the number of cores that require licenses.
Could someone with expertise in the matter confirm whether/not my logic is correct?
