Definitions for SySAM 2.2 sub-capacity licensing.
- Host-ID — identifier that locks a license to a specific host or virtual environment. SySAM 2 uses the default FLEXlm host-ID identifiers. With SySAM 2.2, the host-ID used for unserved licenses can be the default FLEXlm host-ID, the machine-ID, the partition-ID, or the resourceset-ID, depending upon your configuration.
- Machine-wide licensing — licenses a physical machine.
- Partition-wide licensing — licenses only a partition.
- Resource-wide licensing — licenses only a specific resource.
- Machine-ID — identifier for a specific physical machine. You can split the machine into multiple partitions.
- Machine partition — a logically separate system within a
physical machine, typically using its own operating system rather than a
partitioning of a machine’s resources. A machine partition can be a virtual
machine (VM), AIX Logical Partition (LPAR), HP-UX Virtual Partition (vPar),
or Solaris Logical Domain (LDOM). The term "machine partition" refers to a
separate logical system (typically using its own operating system) rather
than to partitioning of a machine’s resources.
- Resource partition — a sub-capacity operating environment within a physical machine that limits the processing capacity for an application, such as a Solaris Container, an AIX WPAR, or an HP Secure Resource Partition.
- Partition-ID — identifier for a specific machine partition.
- Resource-set-ID — identifier for a specific processor resource-set.
- License quantity — the number of licenses needed for a particular containment level.
- Containment level — a particular division of a machine such
as a partition or resource set.
