Review this section for information about core license options for your Oracle Database Appliance hardware.
Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S contains 1 CPU with 10 cores. When you deploy Oracle Database Appliance X6-2S, all 10 cores are active with hyper-threading enabled by default.
Oracle Database Appliance X6-2M contains 2 CPU with 10 cores. When you deploy Oracle Database Appliance X6-2M, all 20 cores are active with hyper-threading enabled by default.
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 has 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 your appliance, using the tables for your Oracle Database Appliance platform.
