About the Symantec Performance Value Unit for Solaris LDOM virtualization server
To enable InfoScale Operations Manager to calculate the Symantec Performance Value Units (SPVU) for the products that are installed on an LDOM virtualization server, you must perform the following tasks
-
Add the virtualization server to InfoScale Operations Manager as a managed host.
-
Add the guest domains to InfoScale Operations Manager as managed hosts.Note: If you add the domains to InfoScale Operations Manager as managed hosts before you add the LDOM virtualization server, it can take up to 24 hours for InfoScale Operations Manager to calculate the SPVUs. Similarly, if you add only the domains to InfoScale Operations Manager, and do not add the LDOM virtualization server, InfoScale Operations Manager cannot calculate the SPVUs for the products that are installed on the virtualization server. However, InfoScale Operations Manager discovers all the licenses on the products in this scenario.
To calculate the SPVU for the products on a Solaris LDOM virtualization server, InfoScale Operations Manager considers the total number of threads that are allocated to the logical domains (the control and the guest domains) where the same product is installed. For example, consider a Solaris LDOM server with 4 cores, with 8 threads in each core. This server has a control domain with 10 threads and two guest domains with 6 and 4 threads each. On all the three domains, Storage Foundation is installed. The total number of threads is 20. The total number of core-to-license is calculated by dividing 20 (total threads) by 8 (thread per core), which is rounded to 3. The SPVU is calculated by multiplying 3 with the SPVU value per core.
The SPVUs for the products on Solaris Zones are calculated based on the cores on the global zones. The cores on the local zones are not considered for calculating SPVUs for the products on Solaris Zones.
