Prime Infrastructure 3.0 - What is PI-SERV-VM-K9 ?

[Atsushi Ikeda]

Hi,

It looks like UCS server management license has changed from PI 3.0.
I think UCS server management feature is available on PI 2.2 or higher, and it is offered by a license.

Please look at pp.15-16 on the PI 3.0 ordering guide.( http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/cloud-systems-management/prime-infrastructure/presentation-c97-735996.pdf )

A says that this sample case requires PI-SERV-UCS-K9.
But on the BoM on p.16, PI-SERV-UCS-K9 is not used.
PI-VM-UCS-K9 license is used.
Which is truth ?

So, what is PI-SERV-VM-K9 on PI 3.0 ?
does it count VMs on a UCS ?
Besides, I want to know also about PI-VM-UCS-K9 ...
What are they ?

Please tell me.Thanks. Regards, Atsushi Ikeda

Hi Atsushi

PI-SERV-VM-K9 license for managing UCS servers.

PI-VM-UCS-K9 license for manage  UCS VM's/.

quantity is depends on the no of UCS server/VM's  that you would like to manage.

Note:Before adding the PI-SERV-VM-K9  base and lifecycle licenses are mandatory.

Thank you.

I want to know what that means.

I think PI-SERV-VM-K9 is required per VM basis.(PI2.2.1)
But I don't know that the VM has to be run on Cisco UCS. Can I apply that license to a VM on Dell/HP server ?

Then, I’m trying to make PI3.0 BoM but there is no such license !
Nobody know about this ?

For example: 

If our environment has 100 UCS chassis and each UCS chassis is running 100 VM's.  Do we need to procuure 

PI-SERV-VM-K9  - 100 Quantity and 

PI-VM-UCS-K9  - 10,000 

Is it how it works? please elaborate the license calculation.  Is there are any license required to the VMWare EXSI hosts( Hypervisior's). 

Can we also manage the storage from EMC
