Instant Capacity Terminology
The following terms are commonly used in conjunction with Instant
Capacity:
activated processor
A processor that has been turned on by the Instant
Capacity software or during installation. Processors
are activated with the icod_modify command (or the
vparmodify command in a virtual partition) while
HP-UX is running.
add-on system
A system that has been converted to an Instant
Capacity system. This process is performed by a HP
service representative.
bound processor
For vPars versions before A.04, a processor that can
process interrupts for a virtual partition. Bound
processors cannot be migrated from one virtual
partition to another if either of the partitions is
running. Every virtual partition must have at least one
bound processor.
codeword
The Instant Capacity component licensing mechanism
used with Instant Capacity versions B.07.x software.
Prior to activating a component, a right-to-use (RTU)
codeword must be applied to an Instant Capacity
system. Codewords are obtained from the Utility
Pricing Solutions web portal after an unlicensed
component has been purchased.
configured processor
A processor that has been configured at the boot
console handler (BCH) and is now available for
activation.
