    Need to understand how to buy RH subscriptions

    Posted on

    Hello.

    I have recently read RH purchasing guide. I must admit I understood it in different way as it is explained there. That is I thought that e.g. RHEL 2-socket up to 4 guests gives me the right to use RHEL on one physical server with 2 sockets and 4 RHEL guests on it. But after reading the document I think I was wrong. As I am still not 100% sure thus I need complete clarification, so I would be happy to have answers the following.

    What subscriptions do I need to buy from Red Hat to legally use:

    1. 3 RHEL guests running on 2-socket physical server working as RHEL 6.4 KVM hypervisor
    2. 6 RHEL guests running on 4-socket physical server working as RHEL 6.4 KVM hypervisor
    3. 10 RHEL guests runing on 3 (three) physical 2-socket servers working as RHEV-H hosts.
    4. Red Hat Satellite Server running on separate physical 2-socket server to manage all of the above.

    It would be ideal to have the answers directly from Red Hat.

    Thank you
