NimbostratusvCMP maximum number of guests
Hi all,
I have two Viprion 2400 chassis, each one with one 2250 blade licensed to host vCMP guests. Each blade has 20 cores, which I have currently allocated to 11 guests.
If I go to the li...
I think the license is labeled like that because originally the 2400 only had 2100 blades which meant only 16 vCMP guest could be allocated. I'm pretty sure the vCMP license should cover your whole chassis and should allow as many guests as is physically allowed by the new blades. I will try to confirm this, but with the 2250 with vCMP license you should be able to exceed 16 vCMP guests.

- Brad_ParkerJust confirmed, the vCMP license you have will allow you to provision the MAX allowed by your blades in the chassis. In your case 20/blade. The 16 number is as I suspected an artifact of the old part number and blades for the 2400.
COMMS-CORE_1795Thanks a lot, Brad! I won't need another vCMP license, right? Cause I already have it installed on the Viprion.- Brad_ParkerThat is correct. I would drop a line to your F5 account rep for sanity sake, but you should be good to go with the license you have.
- COMMS-CORE_1795Great. Thanks.
