If the host has more than 32GB RAM will we be needing more than 1 one agent to be installed on that host. Please clarify.

Hi Rangapriya,

Not required. Please note there will be only 1 oneagent per host irrespective of your RAM size and RAM will define the license and it is calculated in terms of host units. 8 GB will be considered as 1 host units.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Muthu

Hi Muthu,

Ok, I think I have confused between the licenses and the number of agents. Thanks for the clarity.

Regards,

Rangapriya

Hi Muthu,

small correction: 16 GB is one Host Unit, so 8GB would be 0.5 HU.

best regards

Hi Franz,

Yeah, you are right. I overlooked it. Thank you.
