Hi all, I'm looking at processor count which oracle database server is needing on FNMS Web UI.
I'm navigating oracle server worksheet page and there is a specific server which have Itanium 2 9100 series purchased before Dec. 1st, 2010.
1 physical with 2 physical core but OSW shows this server need 2 processor licenses rather than 1 processor license. as far as I know, oracle core factor for this CPU must be 0.5 then the number of license in use must be 1.0 rather than 2.0.
anyone who can advise me?
Regards,
gotqcorp.

I know that this thread was handled through a support case. However, for completeness and in case it helps others here's a summary of the response.
Please refer to page 22 - 23 of the Oracle Practice Guide that describes how FNMS calculates the Oracle core factor for Itanium processors.
Thanks,

I have noted a similar issue with the Oracle core-processor factor apparently being incorrectly applied in our system. In our case it directly impacts Sparc64-VII+ and Sparc-T5 processors, both of which should have an Oracle CPF of 0.5. However, FlexNet appears to applying a flat CPF of 1.

Please see the attached screen image from the Flexera Oracle Processor table highlighting your exact scenario. In order for FNMS/ITAM to apply the correct Point Factor, it needs to know the Purchase Date of your server. If you do not record the hardware purchase date, then FNMS/ITAM will default to the Point Factor of 1.0:
