Hi, We have a particular scenario on AWS where IBM dev/test software is installed on instances that are offered to testing teams to have them deployed across different subnets, but using the same hostname. Also, some instances could run a couple of hours a day, not necessarily at the same time and not every day. Example: DB2_instance1 running on subnets (environments) 10.100.1.0, 10.100.2.0 and 10.100.3.0. Same instance type each (i.e. 2 vCPUs) *Day 1 - DB2_instance1 runs on 10.100.1.0 from 08:00 to 10:00 and DB2_instance1 runs on 10.100.3.0 from 13:00 to 16:00 If we were to count the high-water mark for this day it would be 2vCPU x 70PVUs/core = 140 PVUs *Day 2 - DB2_instance1 running on the three environments at the same time during the day The high-water mark for Day 2 would be then 3 x 2vCPU x 70 PVUs/core = 420 PVUs We have tested FNMS agent being deployed in one subnet only but, we found this approach impractical due to the fact that the software scans can't run during the day (this is scheduled to happen overnight by design). Also, let's say that even if the software scans were successful, there would be an issue due to the potential duplicate records (on this scenario I believe FNMS would report just DB2_instance1 once). So my questions are - Is there any workaround to have the high-water mark (peak) properly reported on the day 2 scenario? How does the dependency on the duplicate hostname affect here? - Due to our dynamic usage on AWS, would it be possible to trigger a software scan once the machines are turned-on? Appreciate any thoughts! Regards, Diego ... View more

Hi dear Flexera Community colleagues, hope you guys have an excellent week! Just wondering if any of you are aware of any recent document (or SLO guide) in regards to best practices to design and implement SAM to track BYOSL in AWS? FNMS 2019R1 release notes and current documentation do mention technical steps and deployment pre-requisites but I was wondering whether there is something we could share with our Cloud architects who are documenting our Cloud Adoption Processes. Any information would be highly appreciated! Regards,   Diego. ... View more

Hi dear community,  1) What is the suggested approach for applying restrictions to the license types below?  given that they are not supported and I have a current requirement to add restrictions based on Corporate Unit. 2) Are there any plans to support such license metrics in the future?   Thanks,  Diego. ------- From the FNMS Online Help: Limitations on restrictions The Restrictions tab is available for many license types, but is not available for the following license types: CAL Legacy IBM Authorized User IBM Concurrent User IBM Floating User Named User Node Locked OEM Oracle Legacy Tiered Device User. ...
