Re: IBM Sub-Cap Licensing Tool Feedback

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

"...we find ourselves having to deploy new BES servers with some cores disabled to avoid very, very large licensing costs..."

Depending on how the cores are disabled, it may not require sub-capacity licensing terms. See:
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/subcapfaqov.html#24

"IBM can adjust for that through the "sub-capacity" licensing program...to run with some cores disabled..."

If the cores are disabled via Bios/OS commands, then yes, sub-capacity licensing terms are required. See:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/SubCapacity/Scenarios_OS_BIOS.pdf

"[ILMT]...requires a websphere server (dedicated) to gather the data and agents on the BES dominos to track the core usage."

ILMT provides both WebSphere and DB2 as restricted-use license components within ILMT.

Questions:
2) Is it hands off after installation?

No, IBM provides ILMT to customers to assist in their software license management. See:
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/subcapfaqilmt.html#7

4) Any general/overview feedback for this would be greatly appreciated
