5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hello, I need to create several Windows Server 2019 standard, virtual machines that run in AHV (Nutanix cluster of 3 nodes nx-3170-g8, with 2x16 cores in each node) hosts that i need to buy licenses for. But i do not seem to find a calculation method for licenses). I found that i can go for per core licensing of physical cores (3*2*16 = 96 cores) which would help reduce costs since the total number of virtual cores that need to be configured is more than 200 v-cores. i would like to confirm if this approach is correct? i.e. licensing the number of the physical cores of nutanix appliances? and if anyone did it successfully? Thank you in advance, Hi Lotfi, Check the below post and replies may be useful for you: https://next.nutanix.com/server-virtualization-27/windows-2019-standard-edition-guest-os-licensing-on-ahv-33972 Thank you Mustapha,I already checked this page, but i believe that they are talking about AVMA or Automatic VM Activation offered by Windows Server Standa
@DKKG thank you for your reply,I did not say that number of licenses is 9 or number of VMs are just 6…Actually, i have more than 15 VMs, with almost 200 cores if i make per virtual cores licensing (minimum 8 cores per processor, and minimum of 16 cores per server...). That’s why i would like to ask about licensing using physical cores. Which means i should only have 96 cores to license.I would like to know, if this is correct.When you say, 1 license would activate 2 vms. That’s in case of using Hyper-V as hypervisor inside the OSE (operating system environment) that receives the license. Right? but this is not my case.Thank you,
