Oracle Exadata Database Machine Capacity-On-Demand Licensing (CoD)
Oracle Management Service 12c Release 4 (12.1.0.4.0) to 13.3.1.0.0(13c)
Oracle Management Agent 12c Release 4 (12.1.0.4.0) to 13.3.1.0.0(13c)
Details
Capacity-on-demand (CoD) refers to an Exadata database server that is installed with a subset of its compute cores turned off so that the software license cost can be reduced. Additional cores are subsequently enabled and licensed as needed. CoD does NOT apply to Exadata Storage Server cores, nor does it reduce the Exadata hardware cost.
In order to qualify for CoD, the Exadata system must be using an approved monitoring tool so the number of active cores can be validated. The three methods allowed are (1) OCM (Oracle Configuration Manager) in connected mode, (2) Enterprise Manager, which can be used in disconnected mode, or (3) Platinum Services. We allow up to 90 days between Exadata installation and installation of one of these three methods.
This note describes the steps that needs to be taken in Enterprise Manager in disconnected mode to monitor the number of active cores.
