Unsupported virtualizations
■ System Z� relative weights - not supported by ILMT, not
eligible for Sub-Capacity
■ x86� Resource pools settings to Virtual Manager
– not supported, not eligible� Mixing OS limits with any other virtualization
– not supported, not eligible� Mixing Bios limits with any other virtualization
– not supported, not eligible� Xen – not supported by ILMT, however some
flavours are eligible for Sub-Capacity, please refer to below linked document

Conclusions
■ Sub-Capacity License Counting Rules are well-defined and described on clear examples
■ ILMT calculates PVU strictly according to Sub-Capacity License Counting Rules
■ Manual calculation and ILMT calculatoion of used processors must give the same results
■ Manual calculation is available in a few cases as a replacement of ILMT
