Preplanning and licensing(fun)

[GoodMorningDave]

I am using a 1u single single, quad core, dual nic to host webserver.

1. Can one license a single cpu?

2. General network layout is: --user<>internet<>authentcation device<>(subnet_1)<>webserver<>query(subnet_2)<>db_server.

I may be confusing multihoming with vSwitch here since the goal is to keep the webserver off of subnet_2 but to send requests to the db while the users remain on subnet_1

Am I confused?

You can not get a VI3 license for a single processor, but you will be able to get vSphere single processor license when it will be GAd ( - tomorrow ? - )

That isn't correct. Single licences have been available for some time. You still have to buy them in pairs (ELA is different), but you can consume them individually.

Thanks. I am rechecking with the seller.

Anyone care to take a crack at #2? Is that a viable config?

Did you try to ask the second question in networking community ?
