Is Oracle certified to run on VMware?
Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware virtualized environments. If that solution does not work in the VMware virtualized environment, the customer will be referred to VMware for support.
How many cores do I have Oracle?
When you deploy Oracle Database Appliance, all 24 cores (12 cores in each server) are active with hyper-threading enabled by default….CPUs and Core Count.
| Licensed Cores for Each Node | Active Cores for Oracle RAC and Oracle Enterprise Edition | Active Cores for Oracle RAC One Node |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | 16 | 8 |
| 10 | 20 | 10 |
| 12 | 24 | 12 |
What is CPU count in Oracle?
CPU_COUNT specifies the number of CPUs available for Oracle Database to use. On CPUs with multiple CPU threads, it specifies the total number of available CPU threads. Various components of Oracle Database are configured based on the number of CPUs, such as the Optimizer, Parallel Query, and Resource Manager.
How do you check exadata cores?
- You can verify the number of active physical cores using the following command:
- DBMCLI> LIST DBSERVER attributes coreCount.
- SQL> show parameter cpu_count.
- NAME TYPE VALUE.
- ———————————— ———– ——————————
- cpu_count integer 32.
How does Oracle licensing work in VMware environments?
Oracle Licensing in VMware Environments Many Oracle products, including the database, have license metrics that involve physical processor counts. VMware vSphere enables you to consolidate multiple workloads in the form of virtual machines on a single physical host.
How many licenses do I need for Oracle?
Oracle licenses it per host, per core, per instance. So if you have 3 VM’s and they are running on a dual 6 core machine, that is 12 licenses per VM. That’s what Oracle will say they need to be paid. On the other hand, Oracle you really only need 1 Server.. right? just one big huge physical server, you don’t need any more licenses after that…
How is oracle using vSphere to manage virtual machines?
Scenario A: An Oracle customer is using VMware vSphere to manage virtual machines in a cluster of 4 Sun UltraSPARC T2+ servers, where an instance of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition is running on a virtual machine with 6 cores assigned. There is no movement of the Oracle database across virtual machines.
What’s the difference between VMware and Oracle Database?
Whereas VMware’s licensing interpretation only takes into account the actual cores assigned to the virtual machine running the Oracle database.
