Oracle Processor Standard
Editor
Oracle is the editor of this metric.
Description
The number of required licenses shall be determined bymultiplying the total number of cores of the processor by a core processor licensing factor specified on the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table which can be accessed here.
All cores on all multicore chips for each licensed program are to be aggregated before multiplying by the appropriate core processor licensing factor and all fractions of a number are to be rounded up to the next whole number.
Normal counting
Formula
∑(INT(P(numberofcores)* P(corefactor)))
Where :
- P is each processor on which the database CAN run
- corefactor refers to the Oracle factor according to P

Soft Partitions
| Server Type | Case | OpTISAM Metric Configuration | Formula | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VMWare | No isolation or VMWare version > 6.7 | oracle.processor with last equipment = whole park | ∑(on all vcenter)∑(on all clusters of the vcenter)∑(on all servers included in the cluster, if one partition of a server has Oracle installed)(P(numberofcores)* P(corefactor)) | Not yet available, S2 2021 |
| VMWare | VCenter isolated or VMWare version <= 6.7 | oracle.processor with last equipment = vcenter, integer round up on cluster level | For each vcenter ∑(on all clusters of the vcenter)∑(on all servers included in the cluster, if one partition of a server has Oracle installed)(P(numberofcores)* P(corefactor)) | Available |
| VMWare | All cluster on which Oracle is installed are isolated | oracle.processor with last equipment = cluster, integer round up on cluster level | For each cluster ∑(on all servers included in the cluster, if one partition of a server has Oracle installed)(P(numberofcores) * P(corefactor)) | Available |
| VMWare | Some clusters are isolated, some aren't | oracle.processor with last equipment = cluster, integer round up on cluster level | Can be done by deleting VCenter parent of isolated clusters | Available |
| VMWare | Server isolated | Does not exist | Does not exist | / |
Hard Partitions
For now, the computation is the same as the normal counting :
∑(INT(P(numberofcores)* P(corefactor)))
Where :
- P is each processor on which the database CAN run
- corefactor refers to the Oracle factor according to P
OpTISAM will compute the compliance for the whole server as approximation.
