Processor Sets
In an environment where processor sets are being used, the
icod_modify command activates iCOD processors into the default
processor set and deactivates processors from only the default processor
set. Activation or deactivation of processors in non-default processor sets
is a two step operation, where the first step involves the user migrating
the processors into or out of the default processor set, and the second
step is the activation or deactivation of those processors using the
icod_modify command.
See psrset (1M) for more information on processor sets.
TiCOD (Temporary Capacity) Program
Customers may purchase an amount of temporary capacity time. This
temporary capacity allows one or more iCOD processor to be activated
for up to the specified period of time of processor minutes, without
requiring the payment of an enablement fee (to HP for the permanent
activation of the processor).
Temporary capacity can be added to the system by applying a
temporary capacity codeword (available from the HP iCOD portal)
using the icod_modify command. Information about the amount of
temporary capacity time remaining on a system can be obtained by
executing the icod_stat command. A warning is also sent via e-mail
when the temporary capacity balance is expected to be depleted within a
certain period of time.
Note that if temporary capacity is depleted and you continue to have
more active processors than licensed processors across the complex, then
on the next reboot of any partition in the complex, the software will
automatically deactivate one or more unlicensed processors in order to
bring the system into a state closer to licensing compliance. The Instant
Capacity software will deactivate as many processors as is necessary to
either stop consumption of temporary capacity or to bring the partition to
the minimum number of required active processors.
