1 Oracle Database Appliance Licensing Overview

When you add your hardware Support Identifier (SI) for Oracle Database Appliance to your My Oracle Support account, you establish a license for all the cores on your system. The platform can be deployed with bare metal or virtualization. Both platforms types offer capacity-on-demand licensing. With bare-metal, you disable cores that will not be used by the Oracle Database by adding your hardware Support Identifier (SI) for Oracle Database Appliance to your My Oracle Support account and creating a key. If you deploy Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform, then all the cores will be enabled, but capacity-on-demand licensing is established by assigning specific cores to the virtual machine where you run Oracle Database and related software (ODA_BASE).

The remainder of this chapter provides an overview of the licensing process for each hardware platform. Chapter 2 explains how to obtain a licensing key and record your initial license requirements with My Oracle Support. It also explains how to change the licensed core count, if required, at a later time. The chapter has a separate section for each hardware model and each section contains the following items:

- CPUs and Core Count

- Rules and Restrictions for Changing Core Count

- Changing the Licensed Core Count

Note that Chapter 2 is only appropriate for bare metal installations where your license covers the cores that you are using for Oracle Database. Chapter 3 contains information about the third-party products that are included with Oracle Database Appliance.

See also:
"Task 3: Install the ODA_BASE Template" in Chapter 4 of Oracle Database Appliance Getting Started Guide for an example of setting the initial licensed core count on Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform.

CPUs and Core Count

Each Oracle Database Appliance includes two nodes.

Oracle Database Appliance X5-2 nodes each contain 2 CPUs and each CPU has 18 cores. When you deploy Oracle Database Appliance X5-2, all 72 cores (36 cores in each server) are active with hyper-threading enabled by default.

Oracle Database Appliance X4-2 nodes each contain 2 CPUs and each CPU has 12 cores. When you deploy Oracle Database Appliance X4-2, all 48 cores (24 cores in each server) are active with hyper-threading enabled by default.

Oracle Database Appliance X3-2 nodes each contain two CPUs and each CPU has eight cores. When you deploy Oracle Database Appliance X3-2, all 32 cores (16 cores in each server) are active with hyper-threading enabled by default.

Oracle Database Appliance V1 nodes each contain two CPUs, and each CPU has six cores. When you deploy Oracle Database Appliance, all 24 cores (12 cores in each server) are active with hyper-threading enabled by default.

Oracle Database Appliance bare metal licensing is determined by the number of enabled cores that you have on your system. The capacity-on-demand licensing feature enables you to change the enabled core count as your system resource needs change.

Initially set the number of licensed cores to the level currently required by your applications. Each server node will have the same number of active cores. Later, increase the licensed core count as your applications require more capacity. Change the number of licensed cores by obtaining and applying a core key to configure one of the options listed in the following tables:

- See Table 1-1 for Oracle Database Appliance X5-2 licensed core licensing options

- See Table 1-2 for Oracle Database Appliance X4-2 licensed core licensing options

- See Table 1-3 for Oracle Database Appliance X3-2 licensed core licensing options

- See Table 1-4 for Oracle Database Appliance V1 licensed core licensing options
