About the Symantec Performance Value Unit for IBM LPAR
To calculate the Symantec Performance Value Unit (SPVU) for the products that run on IBM LPAR, you need to install InfoScale Operations Manager managed host version 7.2.
When the SPVU is calculated for the products that run on IBM LPAR, the sum of Virtual CPUs (vCPUs) is compared with the number of cores on the physical LPAR server. The smaller number among these two is the total number of cores that need to be licensed (core-to-license) for the server. The SPVU is calculated by multiplying this number with the SPVU value per core.
Note: The vCPUs are allocated cores in case of dedicated LPAR. They are entitled capacity in case of capped LPAR and reserved capacity in case of uncapped LPAR.
When the SPVU is calculated for the products that run on IBM LPAR in a cluster environment, the sum of all vCPUs of all the virtual machines in the cluster is compared with the sum of physical cores on the LPAR server in the cluster. The smaller number among these two is used to calculate the license.
