Good morning,
I have a very specific question that I am hoping to get some clarification on.
We have a specific cluster dedicated to a enterprise application and were looking to use NSX to "secure" that application/cluster.
While building out the global infrastructure rules such as AD auth and other traffic we realized we couldn't use VM names because those VM's were on another cluster and to be able to reference those VM's we would need to prep those clusters with the NSX kernel modules.
Does this require those "shared infrastructure" hosts be licensed as well?
These are old school perpetual licenses BTW we haven't signed the new agreement that will get us VCF for everything.
Any host you prepare for NSX will count towards the license usage. So an additional cluster where the hosts are prepared for NSX will require a license.
