SOLAR found 5 items worth validating.
We have already analysed the available data. Confirm the facts below that can materially change the licensing position.
SOLAR observation. The PRD naming suggests a production workload. Confirm the actual use before licensing treatment is applied.
Is SQL-PRD-07 production or test?
16 cores, SQL Server Standard.Production use confirmed. Its 16 SQL Server Standard cores are included in the licensing requirement.
Test confirmed. Visual Studio coverage will be checked before Dev/Test rights are applied.
SOLAR observation. The N01/N02 naming suggests a potential SQL HA/DR pair.
Is SQLDR-01-N02 an eligible passive failover environment for SQLDR-01-N01?
64 cores, SQL Server Enterprise.Eligible passive role confirmed. SQL Software Assurance coverage is checked before passive treatment is applied.
Active role confirmed. SQLDR-01-N02 serves workloads, so its 64 Enterprise cores are included in the requirement.
SOLAR observation. DEV-SQL-11 appears to be a Dev/Test workload. User licensing needs to be confirmed before applying Visual Studio Dev/Test rights.
Are the developers and testers using these Dev/Test servers appropriately covered by Visual Studio subscriptions?
End-user acceptance testing is assessed separately.Visual Studio subscriber coverage confirmed for Dev/Test use.
No Visual Studio coverage confirmed, so Dev/Test servers are licensed like production.
SOLAR observation. Multiple valid Windows Server licensing strategies are available for this cluster. VM mobility affects which hosts must be included in the comparison.
Can the VMs in APP-02 move between all three hosts?
Full VM mobility confirmed. SOLAR compares strategies with every VM able to run on every host.
Restricted mobility confirmed. SOLAR compares strategies with VMs placed per host.
SOLAR observation. Conflicting core information was detected. SOLAR preserves the source values and needs one confirmed value for the assessment.
Which vCore number should SOLAR use for SQL-APP-04?
8 vCores confirmed. Both source values are kept on record.
16 vCores confirmed. Both source values are kept on record.
