Comments on: Business Objects is Virtualization/MultiCore Stupid http://itsjustanotherlayer.com/2009/09/business-objects-is-virtualizationmulticore-stupid/ Virtualization is a layer in software. What are you abstracting away from?

What we have finally gotten to the root here is to upgrade a contract from the CPU/core count to the virtualization rights by either User based or vCPU style based would cost us 2+x the maintenance fees. Needless to say that is way over the cost of figuring out a rather ingenious way to stay within our CPU count AND still make them virtual with all the bonuses that come with that. I will revise my statement about BO not being entirely virtualization friendly. I have an update to this that I will post on.

Due to my understanding contracts signed in 2008 and later do have virtualization rights, means in a virtual environment SAP would count virtual CPUs/cores instead of physical. If you have an older contract, you can convert it to get virtualization rights. I’m a bit surprised to read this.

CPU affinity on the VMs to bork the whole DRS/HA VI cluster. No thank you. Or BO could tell you what they told us. CPU affinity on the VMs to bork the whole DRS/HA VI cluster. No thank you.
