What is vRAM?

vRAM is the memory configured to a virtual machine

Assigning a certain amount of vRAM is a required step in the

creation of a virtual machine

Key vRAM Concepts

vRAM Pool

(using 80 GB out of 256GB)

vSphere 5 Licensing In Action

Each CPU must have at least one vSphere license

assigned

• Cores and physical RAM do not matter

Each processor license managed by a vCenter or

multiple vCenters in Linked mode contributes an

amount of vRAM capacity to the total vRAM pool

• Example: 4 vSphere Ent. Licenses create a vRAM pool

of 256GB of vRAM (4 x 64GB)

• Each vSphere Edition creates a separate pool that

must be kept in licensing compliance

vRAM pool is shared among powered-on VMs

running on all hosts in a vCenter

• Example: 20 VMs with 4GB of configured vRAM

consume a total of 80GB vRAM

• It doesn’t matter how many VMs you run and on which

hosts you run them.

• vMotion, DRS, HA do not require additional licenses

At any point in time the 12 month rolling average of

daily high watermark of consumed vRAM must be

equal or less to the vRAM pool capacity

• Compliance is at the vCenter level not the host level

vRAM pool can be extended by:

• Upgrading all CPUs to higher end vSphere Edition

• Adding processor licenses to the same set of CPUs

• Adding a new host with new licenses

Tools for Tracking vRAM Entitlement vs Usage

Before upgrading to vSphere 5, customers can use a

separate free utility that analyzes a VI3 or vSphere 4

environment, and determines vRAM consumed • The tool will be available later in Q3 2011

After upgrading to vSphere 5:

1. vRAM licensing monitoring and reporting tool built into vCenter 5

2. Free add-on to vCenter for in-depth historical trending analysis

11

When Does the vSphere 5 Licensing Model Apply?

For ELA customers

Customers with active ELA will continue to be subject to the terms of their

contracts for the duration of their contract, independent of which vSphere

version they deployed

• ELA customers may contact their VMware sales representatives to update the

terms of their ELAs to the new vSphere 5 licensing model

For customers without ELAs

The new model applies only to vSphere 5 licenses. Prior versions of

vSphere will continue to be based on their respective licensing model

The new vSphere 5 licensing model will apply upon acceptance of the

vSphere 5 EULA (necessary condition to upgrade to vSphere 5)

Customers who purchase vSphere 5 licenses and decide to downgrade to

older versions of vSphere will be subject to the EULA terms and licensing

model of the vSphere version they downgrade to

How many VMs can I run with my vRAM pool?

How many VMs can I power on a host?

What is my vRAM pool if I have more than one vSphere edition?

How do I expand my vRAM pool?

In this example:

• Licensing Host A with vSphere 5 requires the

same number of licenses as with vSphere 4.x

• Licensing Host B with vSphere 5 requires half

the licenses of vSphere 4.x (2 vs. 4) because

vSphere 5 does not limit the number of cores

per processor

Answer

Example

Host A 2 sockets, 4 cores per CPU, 48GB RAM

Host B 2 sockets, 12 cores per CPU, 64GB RAM

Like in vSphere 4.x, each CPU requires at

least one license

vSphere 5 licensing does not impose limits

on number of cores per processor and

physical RAM per server

The vRAM pool can extend across multiple

(Standard Edition) can be linked together using

Linked Mode.

Site 1 and Site 2 each contain a host with two

licenses of Enterprise. Each site has 128GB of

pooled vRAM capacity in a separate pool.

When the vCenter Servers at each site are linked

together, one vRAM pool is created with 256 GB

of pooled vRAM capacity.
