How many RHEL & RHV licenses are required for self-hosted setup

Latest response

Hi,
I am doing self-hosted engine deployment by following rhel self hosted document. So I installed RHEL 7.3 as my Host OS and this server is registered. On top of that I subscribed to RHV 4.1 and enabled below repos

"subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rpms
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4-mgmt-agent-rpms"

After enable above repos I ran "hosted-engine --deploy" and spawned RHEV-Manager as a VM.

Now my queries are:

  1. When I subscribed to rhv 4.1 on host server to enable the above repos, Will it use RHV license?

  2. RHEV-Manager VM contain RHEL OS 7.3 as its host OS. Do I need to register with a new license again?

  3. How many total RHEL and RHV licenses are required in this setup.?

    I am attaching snap of my setup along with this post.

Hello,

  1. Registering the RHV hypervisor should use your RHV entitlement
  2. For most RHV entitlements, it should allow you to register 'unlimited' virtual guests [1]. The base entitlement for your your RHVM instance would be covered by this, as well as the required software channels (for RHVM)
  3. You should just need one RHV entitlement per hypervisor, assuming you picked the 'unlimited guests' ones. If not, or you need a stand alone rhvm instance, please contact Red Hat Support for further assistance
