What is vRAM?
 vRAM is the memory configured to a virtual machine
 Assigning a certain amount of vRAM is a required step in the
creation of a virtual machine

Key vRAM Concepts

vRAM Pool
(using 80 GB out of 256GB)
vSphere 5 Licensing In Action
 Each CPU must have at least one vSphere license
assigned
• Cores and physical RAM do not matter
 Each processor license managed by a vCenter or
multiple vCenters in Linked mode contributes an
amount of vRAM capacity to the total vRAM pool
• Example: 4 vSphere Ent. Licenses create a vRAM pool
of 256GB of vRAM (4 x 64GB)
• Each vSphere Edition creates a separate pool that
must be kept in licensing compliance
 vRAM pool is shared among powered-on VMs
running on all hosts in a vCenter
• Example: 20 VMs with 4GB of configured vRAM
consume a total of 80GB vRAM
• It doesn’t matter how many VMs you run and on which
hosts you run them.
• vMotion, DRS, HA do not require additional licenses
 At any point in time the 12 month rolling average of
daily high watermark of consumed vRAM must be
equal or less to the vRAM pool capacity
• Compliance is at the vCenter level not the host level
 vRAM pool can be extended by:
• Upgrading all CPUs to higher end vSphere Edition
• Adding processor licenses to the same set of CPUs
• Adding a new host with new licenses

vSphere 5.0How does it work?

11
Tools for Tracking vRAM Entitlement vs Usage
 Before upgrading to vSphere 5, customers can use a
separate free utility that analyzes a VI3 or vSphere 4
environment, and determines vRAM consumed
• The tool will be available later in Q3 2011
 After upgrading to vSphere 5:
1.vRAM licensing monitoring and reporting tool built into vCenter 5
2.Free add-on to vCenter for in-depth historical trending analysis

12
When Does the vSphere 5 Licensing Model Apply?
For ELA customers
 Customers with active ELA will continue to be subject to the terms of their
contracts for the duration of their contract, independent of which vSphere
version they deployed
• ELA customers may contact their VMware sales representatives to update the
terms of their ELAs to the new vSphere 5 licensing model
For customers without ELAs
 The new model applies only to vSphere 5 licenses. Prior versions of
vSphere will continue to be based on their respective licensing model
 The new vSphere 5 licensing model will apply upon acceptance of the
vSphere 5 EULA (necessary condition to upgrade to vSphere 5)
 Customers who purchase vSphere 5 licenses and decide to downgrade to
older versions of vSphere will be subject to the EULA terms and licensing
model of the vSphere version they downgrade to

13

 What is the vRAM pool?
 How many VMs can I run with my vRAM pool?
 How many VMs can I power on a host?

In this example:
• Licensing Host A with vSphere 5 requires the
same number of licenses as with vSphere 4.x
• Licensing Host B with vSphere 5 requires half
the licenses of vSphere 4.x (2 vs. 4) because
vSphere 5 does not limit the number of cores
per processor
Answer
Example
Host A
2 sockets, 4 cores per CPU, 48GB RAM
Host B
 Like in vSphere 4.x, each CPU requires at

 vSphere 5 licensing does not impose limits

Any VM can run on any host within a vRAM
pool. Since vRAM is pooled across all hosts of
the same vSphere edition under a vCenter
Server, the movement of VMs cannot cause
more vRAM to be needed.

VMs on one host can vMotion to another without
impacting the consumed or available vRAM

All VMs can even run on a single host, in effect

Answer
Example
The vRAM pool can extend across multiple
linked vCenter Servers. vCenter Servers
(Standard Edition) can be linked together using
Linked Mode.
Site 1 and Site 2 each contain a host with two
licenses of Enterprise. Each site has 128GB of
pooled vRAM capacity in a separate pool.
When the vCenter Servers at each site are linked
together, one vRAM pool is created with 256 GB
of pooled vRAM capacity.

Host C
CPU
There are two ways to add a host:
1) Add additional licenses of the same edition.
2) If you have more licenses than CPUs, you
can deploy those licenses to the new host.
Pooled vRAM capacity will remain
unchanged.

No additional vRAM is needed and there are more licenses
than CPUs. A license can be redeployed to Host C. Pooled
vRAM capacity remains unchanged.
vSphere Ent
Summary

Pooled vRAM capacity remains
unchanged at 320GB. As before, the
VMs can run on any of the three hosts.
