-
max_db_mem_size_in_gb -
Previously used for licenses based on database RAM. This license type is deprecated and the parameter value is always “Unlimited”.
-
max_db_raw_data_size_in_gb -
The maximum size of raw data in GiB that you can store across all databases in the cluster. The raw data volume corresponds to the data volume that is comparable to the size the data would have if stored as CSV files.
Audit data is not counted towards the raw data license limit.
For more details about how raw data size is determined, see Sizing for Data Types and Object Types.
-
max_num_clusters -
The maximum number of running clusters allowed by the license.
Clusters are counted per database. This means that n databases will count as n clusters, even if all databases run on the same set of nodes.
For more details about main and worker clusters, see Database Essentials and Cluster Management.
-
max_nodes_per_cluster -
The maximum number of active nodes on a running cluster. Access node and standby nodes are not counted towards this limit.
Check license
To verify that the currently running databases do not exceed the license limits, use the ConfD job license_run_check. If the command returns OK, you are within the limits of your license.
