Solved: IBM Websphere Virtual Enterprise Node (PVU)

shelby_day · ‎May 15, 2019

Seems that all of a sudden I'm showing consumption on IBM Websphere Virtual Enterprise Node at the license level. Consumption shows me over 50 devices, consuming 11,650 PVUs, yet when I go to the reporting functionality "Application Installation Details", I am getting 1 device. Why don't these match up? What am I missing?

A couple of possibilities here would be that the license may be covering a wider range of applications than just the single application you looked at the the single install count, or devices have been allocated to the license and the option for allocations to consume entitlements has been checked.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for responding. This is part of the issue. The rest remains internally. 🙂

Cheers!!

Two other items to watch: 1) SWITAG files 2) IBM Installer Manager evidence.

Which version of FNMS are you using? The license consumption that is shown on the All Licenses page and the compliance tab of PVU licenses reflects the Peak consumed value. The consumption tab of the license and certain reports reflect current consumption (as of the last reconciliation).
