Licensing virtual machine hosts
The procedure to license virtual machine hosts is not the same as licensing other servers. However, as a
prerequisite, the virtual machine host must be licensed in Insight Control virtual machine management. The
VM Host cannot be monitored for performance management if it is not licensed and managed in Insight
Control virtual machine management. Virtual machine guests do not have any license for performance
management.
IMPORTANT: If you license a server for performance management and then convert that server to a virtual
machine host, you are not required to license the virtual machine host again for performance management.
However, this virtual machine host must be licensed for Insight Control virtual machine management. The
virtual machine host can be monitored only when licensed by Insight Control virtual machine management.
Similarly, if a virtual machine host is converted to a physical server, it is not expected to be licensed again
for performance management.
For more information about licensing Insight Control virtual machine management, see the Insight Control
virtual machine management documentation.
