IBM Security Guardium Data Protection for Databases License

  • 1.  IBM Security Guardium Data Protection for Databases License

    Posted Wed July 03, 2019 08:50 AM
    Hi All !

    I have a customer who currently has IBM Security Guardium Standard Activity Monitor for Databases per PVU installed in Production.
    They have now opted for the new IBM SECURITY GUARDIUM DATA PROTECTION FOR DATABASES RESOURCE VALUE UNIT (MVS) license.

    Customer would like to be compliant and is using ILMT to discover and count the correct license.  Currently the license is detected as the PVU metric.

    What would be the best way forward for the customer to convert the license metric from PVU to RVU (Managed Virtual Server) in Production environment? and ensure ILMT is able to correctly calculate the RVU (MVS).
    e.g.
    a) apply the latest product license file
    b) uninstall the PVU product and install the new product as well as the product license file.

    Appreciate the team's feedback and thanks for your assistance.
