3.3 Licensing virtual guests
When a
(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
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.
