Important change regarding OVM/SPARC and Licensing

Saturday, December 3. 2011

The newest revision (the rev valid as of December, 2nd) of the document "Partitioning - Topic: Server/Hardware Partitioning" naming the technologies allowing you just to license a subset of the available processors in a system for a Oracle software has been modified: Oracle VM for SPARC is now explicitly named as a hard partitioning technology.

This whole policy is such nonsense. The hard partitioning definition in that document is practically a design spec for vSphere yet it's excluded.

They had to do this because of supercluster. Supercluster's primary appeal is the ability to run oracle db and other workloads and the notion of licensing a part of the processor for the db. Regardless, I'm happy to see it.
