Your customer wants to use HPE OneView for VMware vCenter Server to simplify management of
their VMware cluster running on HPE Synergy. The customer is concerned with the cost of additional
licenses.
How will you explain licensing rules for this product?
B
Synergy only has 1 license that customers can purchase, which is the FC connectivity upgrade option for the HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for Synergy (FC upgrade SKU's are R3P67AAE and R3P67A). Otherwise, no other features within OneView require a license for Synergy. This does not apply to external resources outside the scope of HPE Synergy (i.e. storage systems).
HPE OneView for VMware vCenter use is covered under the HPE OneView Advanced License. Basic monitoring and inventory are supported with HPE OneView for VMware vCenter using HPE OneView Standard Licenses; all other functionality requires HPE OneView Advanced Licenses. HPE Synergy includes the Advanced license, so no additional license is required when using HPE Synergy. The most significant difference between the standard and advanced license is that the standard license server does not have server profiles.
