max online engines on Sybase Small Business Edition

Hello,

be executing psrinfo command on Solaris machine I see 24 online engines running. Machine has two Intel Xeon X5675 CPUs, every CPU (by specification) has 6 cores with hyper threading.

This is extract from  Sybase trace:

Checked out license for 2 ASE_CORE

Adaptive Server Enterprise (Small Business Edition)

Sybase version is 15.7 ESD3.

I have set max online engines to 8, and in sysengines table I only see 4 engines.

I have found that Sybase SBE is limited to 8 engines.

So, where are the 4 remaining engines? Will Sybase run them when there is a need for that? How to check this?

Best regards,

Vojislav
