Instant Capacity
System Hardware
An Instant Capacity system’s hardware is generally made up of the
following components:
• Cell boards
• Processors
• Memory
Every Instant Capacity system contains a combination of the above
components that are either licensed (and available for activation) or
unlicensed.
Instant Capacity
Software
The Instant Capacity software provides the means to:
• Increase or decrease (load balance) system processing capacity
(icod_modify command)
• View status and configuration of the system components (icod_stat
command)
• Administer system identification and notification information
(icod_modify command)
• Send system asset reports through encrypted e-mail to HP, if
configured (icodd daemon)
• Send configuration change notification, through encrypted e-mail, to
the specified system-contact
• Monitor and report system compliance (icodd daemon)
See Appendix C, “Instant Capacity Manpages,” on page 159 for details of
these commands.
Utility Pricing
Solutions Portal
The Utility Pricing Solutions (or Instant Capacity) portal is located at
the HP web site:
http://www.hp.com/go/icod/portal
After an unlicensed component is purchased, HP sends you a letter
containing instructions on how to obtain a right-to-use (RTU) codeword
from the Utility Pricing Solutions portal.
Instant Capacity
Administration
System
If asset reporting is configured, the icodd daemon sends asset reports,
as encrypted e-mail messages, to the Instant Capacity Administration
System, which saves information in the Instant Capacity database.
