Full or sub-capacity, proven.
Sub-capacity only where ILMT evidence covers the server and the quarter — otherwise full capacity, and labelled as such.
IBM Power and software
Every PVU counted.Every LPAR, every quarter.
For providers hosting IBM Db2, AIX and IBM i on Power: Rymvard counts PVUs by the cores your rules make licensable — uncapped LPARs at their virtual processors, capped and dedicated ones at their entitlement — at full capacity unless ILMT evidence covers the server and the quarter, and checks every Db2 HADR takeover.
Read-only. New in version 0.27 — the screens show an illustrative example estate, not a customer.
Without evidence, every core counts.
Sub-capacity licensing holds only with evidence for every server and quarter. An uncapped LPAR can borrow its whole pool. And a Db2 HADR standby has to carry production on the day it is needed.
LPARs as they run.
Dedicated, capped and uncapped LPARs counted by your rules; IBM i by its processor tier.
Db2 HADR, checked.
The same takeover check as for Oracle and SQL Server: CPU, memory, IOPS and lag against the RPO.
What Rymvard shows
Every server, every LPAR, every quarter.
Positions per product, the servers and LPARs behind them, the ILMT evidence and the Db2 HADR groups.
Positions per product.
Db2 and other products in PVU or VPC, needed against entitled per customer.
Servers and LPARs.
What each counts and why — dedicated, capped or uncapped, the pool, the PVU per core.
ILMT evidence.
Which servers and quarters it covers; a server without it is counted at full capacity.
Db2 HADR.
Every standby checked for CPU, memory, IOPS and lag.
Read-only, from your Power estate.
Rymvard reads frames, LPARs, instances and ILMT reports. It never changes a system.
- Frames, LPARs and Db2 instances from CSV templates or the REST API; ILMT reports imported as evidence.
- Licence rules, minimums and entitlements exactly as you enter them — your contract decides, Rymvard counts.
- A PVU value missing for a processor model is unknown — never assumed.
- Detailed records stay in their country; customer names are visible only to the people who need them.
New in 0.27 · Workspaces
A home for IBM licensing.
IBM licence management opens Rymvard on its own home — PVUs as counted and at full capacity, servers without ILMT evidence and Db2 HADR takeovers that would fail. See the workspaces
IBM Licences & Power
Is every PVU covered — and does ILMT prove sub-capacity?
- PVUs needed (as counted)
- PVUs at full capacity
- Servers without ILMT evidence
- Db2 HADR takeovers that would fail
Screens from the running product on its example estate. Customer names appear only for planners and admins — findings never name a customer.
Across every vendor
Every licence, one table.
Oracle, Microsoft, Broadcom, Red Hat, SUSE and IBM positions side by side on Licences & Audit — what is short, what is unknown and what goes into this month's reports. Licence-aware placement
Prove sub-capacity before you are asked.
Your Power estate, read-only: every PVU by licensable cores, and the evidence behind each.
