Licensing question

[Danco74]

Hey everyone,

Lets say my vCenter manages two clusters of two Esxi hosts each.

I associated NSX manager with my vCenter, but now I want to leverage VXLAN on one cluster only.

Do I need to purchase licenses for all the hosts managed by vCenter, or just for the cluster that will actually use NSX?

Thanks,

Dan.

You can deploy to individual clusters and only need to license the ones that'll have NSX deployed so the only real restriction is that it must be deployed to entire clusters so you couldn't deploy to a subset of hosts within a cluster.  No problem with deploying to/licensing just a single cluster in you environment though.
