If a server has LPAR capability, can two or more LPARs be configured with unique instances of PowerHA running on them without incurring additional license charges?
Yes. PowerHA is a server product that has one charge unit: number of processors on which PowerHA will be installed or run. Regardless of how many LPARs or instances of AIX that run in the server, you are charged based on the number of active processors in the server that is running PowerHA. Note that PowerHA configurations containing multiple LPARs within a single server may represent a potential single point-of-failure. To avoid this, it is recommended that the backup for an LPAR be an LPAR on a different server or a standalone server.
