Configuring SySAM Sub-capacity

Configure SySAM to use a license quantity appropriate to the containment level and to share licenses at the machine, partition, or resource level.

Prerequisites
To configure machine-level licensing on platforms other than AIX logical partitions and HP-UX virtual partitions, run sysamcap on the physical machine or control domain for the virtualization technology (such as VMware ESXi/ESX console, the Microsoft Hyper-V host, the Red Hat KVM host, the XEN dom0) as a user with root permissions.
Task
  1. Obtain the SYBASE_SAM_CAPACITY environment variable for the containment level you are licensing.
    1. To get machine-level information, enter:
      sysamcap MACHINE
    2. To get partition-level information, enter:
      sysamcap PARTITION
    3. To get resource-set-level information, enter:
      sysamcap RESOURCESET
  2. Set the SYBASE_SAM_CAPACITY environment variable to the value reported by sysamcap.
  3. Start your sub-capacity-enabled Sybase product.
