Can anyone direct me to the official product RVU table for IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager? We have both the terabyte and petabyte variations:

License part number Renewal S&S part number Product
D20J3LL E0PL5LL IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager for Raw Terabyte Storage Resource Value Unit
D20JBLL E0PL9LL IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager for Raw Petabyte Storage Resource Value Unit

I have searched the product documentation and online resources and have only found generic answers/comments. My IBM rep has not gotten back to me with this answer...

Hello Paul, In case your rep hasn't gotten back to you. 
You can find these tables in the license documents on the IBMM Terms website. For GKLM for example see this link.

For GKLM 5.1 the official RVU table is:
The following units of measure may apply to Licensee's use of the Program. Resource Value Unit (RVU) Resource Value Unit (RVU) is a unit of measure by which the Program can be licensed. RVU Proofs of Entitlement are based on the number of units of a specific resource used or managed by the Program. Licensee must obtain sufficient entitlements for the number of RVUs required for Licensee's environment for the specific resources as specified in the table below. RVU entitlements are specific to the Program and the type of resource and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with RVU entitlements of another program or resource. Instead of the entitlements required for the Resources used by the Program directly, Licensee must obtain entitlements for this Program sufficient to cover the Resources managed by the Program. In addition to the above, the following terms apply to Licensee's use of the Program. The Resource for the purpose of RVU calculation is a Decimal Terabyte. A Decimal Terabyte is 10 to the 12th power bytes. Sufficient entitlements must be obtained to cover the number of Raw Decimal Terabytes available to the Program. "Raw" means the maximum capacity of a storage device regardless of whether that capacity is actually used or managed by the Program in any manner. Resource Value Unit Conversion Table From 1 to 12 Resources, 1.00 RVU per Resource

From 13 to 32 Resources, 12 RVUs plus 0.84 RVUs per Resource above 12

From 33 to 64 Resources, 29 RVUs plus 0.61 RVUs per Resource above 32

From 65 to 100 Resources, 49 RVUs plus 0.46 RVUs per Resource above 64

From 101 to 250 Resources, 65 RVUs plus 0.38 RVUs per Resource above 100

For more than 250 Resources, 122 RVUs plus 0.30 RVUs per Resource above 250 

Hope this helps!

Hi Paul, I couldn't respond to the message in my inbox so I wil respond here.  If you go the IBM Documentation webste, select the documentation and version you are using, at table of contents on the left side all the way at the bottom there is a link to Announcements & sales manuals  On those pages are the program numbers listed and you can use those to search the IBM Terms on the previos linked site.

Hope this helps.
Erwin
