vROM licensing

Can I monitor vSphere environment with Operations Manager for Horizon 6.1?

I mean vSphere environment which Horizon is running on.

I’ve got Horizon Enterprise (Named) licenses.

Can I monitor “other” vSphere environment with this instance of Operations Manager?

The “other” vSphere environment is using “VMware vSphere with Operations Management 5.5 Standard” licenses.

Sure, you can do split licensing with vR Ops v6. Make sure you set up the licensing groups right. The old methodology of splitting vR Ops server/desktop instances for licensing and scalability limitations is no longer valid, so by all means have one monitor everything if the business case justifies it.

Thank you but your answer is very general.

I would like to know if it is possible to mix "Horizon Enterprise (Named)" and “VMware vSphere with Operations Management 5.5 Standard” in vROP 6.0.1

Yes, you can mix licenses within vR Ops as my previous comment had indicated. The Horizon suite license has it's own stipulations on how it is used (what VMs), and you can use the vSOM licensing on everything else.
