Hello All,
If I am using core based licensing for Oracle database Enterprise editition, for AIX what should I consider the systems CPU count for corefactoring.
For AIX P5 and p7 series the core factor is 1.
My machine though has entitled capacity of 1 CPU but when I do search on lpar level I get below CPU information. I have SMT enabled as 2 .
>lparstat -i | grep CPU
Online Virtual CPUs : 3
Maximum Virtual CPUs : 64
Minimum Virtual CPUs : 1
Maximum Physical CPUs in system : 64
Active Physical CPUs in system : 56
Active CPUs in Pool : 56
Shared Physical CPUs in system : 56
Physical CPU Percentage : 33.33%
Desired Virtual CPUs : 3
>lparstat
System configuration: type=Shared mode=Uncapped smt=On lcpu=6 mem=45056 psize=56 ent=1.00
Thanks
