QuestionQ53

Evaluate the customer's environment

An HPE Partner is designing an HPE Morpheus VM Essentials solution for a customer. The solution includes:

  • 20 HPE ProLiant DL380 servers with dual processors
  • 10 HPE ProLiant 325 servers with single processors
  • 2 HPE Alletra 5000 storage arrays, each with two controllers

The customer does not anticipate exceeding 500 VMs in this solution.

Based on this information, how many subscription licenses should the HPE Partner plan for?

Explanation

HPE Morpheus VM Essentials is licensed per physical CPU socket on hypervisor nodes. Twenty dual-processor servers consume 40 socket licenses and 10 single-processor servers consume 10, for 50 total. Storage-array controllers and the number of VMs do not change this socket-based license count.
