HP Insight Control for Linux 6.0 User Guide

20.3 Licensing virtual guests
When a virtual host (VM host) is licensed for HP Insight Control for Linux, all guests of that VM
host are considered licensed for Insight Control for Linux as well, provided that the virtual guests
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 A uto-populate option.
NOTE: HP Insight Control for Linux can only monitor those VM guests if their asssociated VM
host has an Insight Control for Linux license.
