Is it required a license per blade?

Hi,

 

We have 2 Viprion C2400 with two 2250 blades. We would like to activate VCMP. How many licenses do we need? One per blade? My understanding is we will need just one license for VCMP Enabled on each host, is that right?

 

Thanks in advance!

    A viprion is licensed per chassis. It doesn't matter how many blades are in it - the serial number is stored on a chip embedded in the chassis itself.

     

    VCMP guests inherit the license from the host. The host is licensed for VCMP, not the guests.
