Subcapacity inconsistency

  • 1.  Subcapacity inconsistency

    Posted Wed September 22, 2021 08:43 AM

    Hi Folks,

    In my audit.zip:

    Firstly: When I look at my audit snapshot summary. Why does it show the full capacity as well as the subcapacity with registered products against the full-capacity. We only use VMs on these machines so how can I tell ILMT that we don't use full capacity licensing for the machines?

    Secondly: The audit-snapshot-summary has the sub capacity correct however, the pvu_sub_capacity.csv seems to show that we are using 280 pvu of the product (QM in this case) on two machines, when we are actually using 140 and 70. (According to the column "Physical Server PVU Subcapacity" - is this really the VM? So, how come the snapshot is correct but this seems to not be? and do I need to do anything to correct it or will IBM just go with the summary???

    thanks folks !

    1, ILMT is designed in such a way that it allows the display of

    both - full capacity and subcapacity. You need to check licenses at IBM Passport Advantage to determine the licensing pattern.

    In the case of subcapacity licensing, the full capacity value is sort of a reference for the customer to determine how much the subcapacity cost is lower in comparison to full capacity. This is why ILMT displays both.

    Please set the period of time to be just the same day, instead of the last 90 days (just 9/10 to 9/10) and see if the issue remains. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=concepts-high-water-mark
