Welcome to the HP Instant Capacity User’s Guide for versions B.07.x.
Hewlett-Packard’s Instant Capacity software product provides the
ability to instantly increase or decrease computing capacity on specified
HP enterprise servers.
NOTE The name of the product has changed from Instant Capacity on Demand
(or iCOD) to HP Instant Capacity for HP 9000 and HP Integrity Servers,
also known as Instant Capacity or iCAP. While the name of the product
has changed, many of the commands, warning messages and error
messages still refer to the software as iCOD. In addition, Temporary
Capacity on Demand (TiCOD) is now called Temporary Instant Capacity,
or TiCAP. While there may be occasional uses of the old product names
in this guide, they refer to the current versions of the products.
With Instant Capacity, you initially purchase a HP enterprise server
with a specified amount of active processing capacity, and a specified
amount of inactive processing capacity.
Processing capacity consists of the system components:
• Processors
• Cell boards
• Memory
Prior to activation of an inactive component, a right-to-use (RTU) license
must be purchased from HP. HP then supplies a right-to-use codeword;
when the codeword is applied to the HP Enterprise server, the inactive
component can be activated. Additionally, for inactive processors,
Temporary Instant Capacity may be purchased from HP for a temporary
capacity codeword, which can be used to activate one or more inactive
processors temporarily.
