Stacking Virtual Datacenter Licenses
I've been handed over the reigns for our companies Satellite installation and thus far, there have only been a few issues, but I am still learning this product. This one is confusing. We are not supposed to be able to stack Virtual licenses, yet only one guest seems to be complaining.
I have multiple virtual machines, all with three virtual sockets. All are fully entitled, one is partially entitled; however, according to both Satellite and subscription manager, the same subscription is being used, on the same host, for these two guests.
Note: these two servers are identical. One was cloned from the other. All updates applied, RHEL 7.4. Only difference is name/IP, of course.
