HP Insight Control Software for Linux - Manual (Page 28)

3.3 Licensing virtual guests
When a virtual host (VM host) is licensed for Insight Control for Linux, all guests of that VM host
are considered licensed for Insight Control for Linux as well, provided that the virtual guest s are
properly associated with their virtual host. You can license a virtual machine guest (VM guest)
without licensing its host or you can license it in addition to licensing its host, in either case
unnecessarily consuming licenses.
Athough a VM guest that inherits its license from its host does not appear as licensed under the
License Manager, it is considered as licensed when configured with the
Options
→IC-Linux→Configure Management Services task.
If you want to select specific VM guests to monitor, you must manually add the VM guests to the
{collection_name}_Servers
subcollection and specify no for the Auto-populate option.
NOTE: Insight Control for Linux can only monitor those VM guests if their associated VM host
has an Insight Control for Linux license.
