Cell Board Instant Capacity
Cell Board Instant Capacity allows you to have additional (inactive) cell
board capacity in your system for growing business needs. When the
need arises, licensed cell boards, which contain memory and processors,
are then available for instant activation and use.
The Instant Capacity software monitors and enforces the count of
inactive cell boards throughout the complex. Inactive cell boards have
the use-on-next-boot flag set to “n” (no).
After applying a cell board and memory codeword, you may activate any
cell board with memory not exceeding the licensed amount, and
configure it into an nPartition. This is controlled by setting the
use-on-next-boot flag to “y” (yes) with the parmodify command and
rebooting the nPartition.
IMPORTANT An active cell board must have a minimum of one active processor;
therefore, a processor license must be available in the complex.
See Chapter 6, “Cell Board Instant Capacity,” on page 91 for more
information.
