n
You configure the virtual machine to run 4 vCPUs.
Licensing charge calculation:
Per Minute Usage Charge Time Powered On Support Rating Multiplier Cost
(((1/60) * 120) * (4/2))
(Actual # vCPUs/Support Rated # vCPUs)
= $ 4.00
Ways To View Resource Usage
By using a combination of Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand and My VMware, you can view usage data for
your resources in a variety of ways.
n
Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand: View resource usage data for all virtual machines in a virtual data
center and for specific virtual machines. The Resource Usage tab displays current, unbilled usage.
Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand aggregates data to display hourly totals for vCPU, vRAM, public IP
addresses, and license usage, and monthly totals for storage usage.
n
My VMware: View daily and monthly usage and associated cost per resource, as well as view billing
statements. See the My VMware Help ( ) for information.
NOTE To view the Resource Usage tab and access billing information in My VMware, you must be a
member of an administrative role for Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand. See “Role-based User Account
Management,” on page 56 for information.
Using Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand, you can choose several ways to view resource usage and access
billing information.
