Tim, you didn't read my email carefully :) That is OracleVM that is listed in both soft and hard partitioning. I was talking about VMWare, which is only listed under soft partitioning. Cheers! From: timseanhall@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:timseanhall@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tim Hall Brandon: You didn't read the whole document. :) It's mentioned in the hard-partitioning also. Use it for soft partitioning, you pay for all CPUs. Use it for hard-partitioning, you only pay for what you use. :) ________________________________ Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message or attachments hereto.
