Configuring processor multipliers

In the Mid Tier interface, if you use the Per Core Multiplier, Per CPU Multiplier, Per CPU Constant, or Per Core Constant based license models, you must configure the multipliers or processor value units (PVUs) that the model will use. These multipliers usually vary from one software manufacturer to another, so you must configure a multiplier for each software manufacturer.

To configure processor multipliers

  1. In Mid Tier, in Application Administration Console, click the Custom Configuration tab.
  2. From the Application Settings list, select Asset Management > Advanced Options > Configure Processor Multipliers, and then click Open.
    The Configure Processor Multipliers form is displayed.
  3. Select the Calculation Type, for the model that you are configuring.
    • For the Per Core and Per CPU Multiplier Based models, select Multiplier.
    • For the Per Core and Per CPU Constant Based models, select Constant.
  4. Select the Software Manufacturer that represents the manufacturer of the product that is related to the license certificate. 
  5. Select the Processor Type.
    For the Per Core and Per CPU license models, you need to set up multipliers only for the Central Processor type. 
  6. Enter or select a Processor Product Name.
  7. Select a Processor Family.
  8. Select a Processor Max Clock Speed.
  9. Enter a Multiplier.
  10. Click Save and then close the form.
Warning

Important

  • For steps 5 to 8, processor attributes should match the attributes of the processor in the CMDB.
  • While the Per CPU Multiplier or Per Core based license models are running, if a multiplier is not found, a default multiplier of 1 is used. When running these license models the number of licenses deployed gets rounded off after the multiplier is applied.


Where to go from here

After you configure the multipliers, you must run the corresponding license jobs to use the multipliers. For more information about running license jobs, see Managing-jobs-that-automatically-attach-CIs-to-license-certificates.
