Chapter 2. Installation 39
2.5.1 SDMC hardware appliance
For the SDMC hardware appliance, the customer needs to order the 7042-CR6
machine type with the SDMC feature code, including additional memory and a
hard drive. When the SDMC feature code is ordered, the requisite SDMC
software PIDs (5765-MCH) and SWMA PIDs (566x-MCH) are automatically
appended to the order. The MCH SW and SWMA PIDs include license
entitlement and support for the management server code.
2.5.2 SDMC software appliance
For the SDMC software appliance, the customer needs to license each
installation of the management server code using SDMC software PIDs
(5765-MCV) and SWMA PIDs (566x-MCV).
2.5.3 Licensing for cores of managed systems
In addition to the above SDMC licenses, the customer also needs to purchase
licenses for any Power Systems cores they plan to manage with the SDMC.
Managed core licenses are purchased by placing an order for IBM Systems
Director Express Edition (5765-EXP). One year of software maintenance
(SWMA) is included with the purchase of 5765-EXP. For additional SWMA
orders, the customer places an order for IBM Systems Director Express Editions
SWMA (566x-EXP).
Only the number of cores of the systems managed by SDMC(s) needs to be
licensed, regardless of redundant management by multiple SDMCs.
