Audit Report Details - Partitions

Use this window to view a list of partitions with the selected systems product. The table shows all partitions with at least one instance of at least one of the components of the product.

The PID Information field shows the product identifier information. If there is no data about the PID in the software catalog, the field is empty. There is no part number and license information for the systems products.

Important: There may be cases when some columns in this window are empty. In such a case, you will see the following comment in the Comments column: The agent was not included in the peak day core calculations. Some columns may be empty. It means that a given product was not located on the agent in the peak day so in the day when the maximum capacity for this product has been reached. The result of such situation is that the product instance will not be included in the pricing calculations.
What is shown in the table depends on whether the agent or the server were included in the peak day calculations:
  1. When both the agent and the server were included in the calculations for the peak day, all information in the table is shown.
  2. When the agent was not included in the peak day calculations, but the server was, the CPU Cores on Partition column is empty.
  3. When both the agent and the server were not included in the core calculations for the peak day, the following columns are empty: Tier, Server CPU Core Capacity and CPU Cores on Partition.
Tier
A tier denotes a value that is assigned to a product and to the server on which it is installed. For systems product licensing purposes, in the tier table different combinations of system models and products are assigned different tiers. This column shows the tier of the product; it can be one of the following types: small, medium or large.
Server CPU Core Capacity
If the products eligible for full capacity licensing, this column shows the number of CPU cores assigned to the server. For the products eligible for subcapacity licensing, the column shows the sum of CPU cores on the partitions capped with the full capacity of the server.
CPU Cores on Partition
It shows the number of cores for the partition in the moment when the maximum capacity for the server has been reached. If this column is empty, it means that the chosen instance did not participate in counting of the maximum capacity for the product. This situation might have been caused by, for example, the fact that the product was installed on a given partition during the reporting period, but was not installed on the partition at the moment when the maximum capacity for the product was reached.
Max CPU Cores on Partition
This column shows the maximum number of CPU cores on a given partition during the entire reporting period. It is relevant for the Express products.
