Veritas Cluster
I need to know the licensing method if i am planning to run 4 Node Window cluster on Virtual machine.
1) Physical Machine having Dual CPU with 12 core ( Intel Xeon E5).
2) Virtual Machine havi...
You licence by core for the least amount.
So if you have 2 ESX servers and each has 24 cores, then if you run a 2-node cluster with each VM exposed to 16 cores then you pay for 2x16=32 as this is less than 2x24=48, but if you ran a 4-node cluster on the same 2 ESX servers, then you would licence for 2x24=48 as this is less than 4x16=64.
