Cell Boards
Instant Capacity offers you a way to have additional (inactive) cell board
capacity in your system for growing business needs. When the need
arises, these cell boards, which contain memory and processors, are
available for instant activation and use after purchasing a license from
HP and applying a RTU codeword.
The cell board, memory, and processors are each licensed separately. To
activate an Instant Capacity cell, you must have an Instant Capacity cell
license as well as sufficient memory license to enable all memory
attached to the cell.
Depending on the need, you may want to license one or more processors
at the same time the cell and memory are licensed. After a cell board is
activated, all of the licensed processors on the cell board are available for
activation if the system has available CPU licenses.
See Chapter 6, “Cell Board Instant Capacity,” on page 91 for more
information.
IMPORTANT You must have one active processor for each active cell board.
Memory
Memory is contained in a cell board. The entire amount of memory on an
Instant Capacity cell board is available for use after the memory RTU
codeword is applied and the memory is licensed.
An Instant Capacity cell board must be licensed and activated before its
memory can be used, and you cannot activate a cell board without
activating all attached memory.
