Instant Capacity Compatibility with
Processor Sets
Overview
The Instant Capacity versions B.07.x software successfully co-exists with
processor sets (Psets).
To co-exist with Psets, the Instant Capacity software only activates and
deactivates processors in the default processor set. Processors in
non-default processor sets are not activated or deactivated.
NOTE There must be at least one processor in the default processor set. The
last remaining processor in the default processor set is unavailable for
deactivation.
Scope of the Instant Capacity Software Interacting
with Psets
The Instant Capacity software does not provide any additional
functionality to specifically support adding or removing processors from
a specific Pset.
Psets on nPars
In an nPar environment where Psets are present, the Instant Capacity
software only activates and deactivates processors in the default Pset.
Processors can be manually migrated to the default Pset for purposes of
deactivation, or from the default Pset to other Psets after activation.
Psets on vPars
In a vPar environment, the Instant Capacity software passes the request
for a processor activation or deactivation to the vparmodify command.
