Hello,
PVU and RVU MAPC subcapacity license terms specify license consumption only on the physical server level. The values cannot be calculated and presented on the virtual machine or LPAR level, and such data is not provided by License Metric Tool. For more information, see:
Virtualization Capacity License Counting Rules

Thank you.

Subject: Understanding PVU / Core relationship and distribution
Does the sub capacity consumption take into consideration PVU values from all Operating Host Systems running workloads associated with the software components of the product? As an example, if there are a total of 14 cores being exposed to a licensed product, we could see a sub capacity total consumption of 14 * 70 = 980 PVU. If the PVU metric is based on a subset of the bundle components, then we would need to change the association in ILMT to not consider the host systems for DB2 components, WAS Liberty ND components (running workloads on 2 separate endpoints), and WAS ND components (running workloads between 4 components). Please advise - Thank you.
