Temporary
Capacity
Expiration
Reminder
The Instant Capacity software calculates when the temporary capacity
balance will expire, based on the current consumption rate. After the
temporary capacity balance reaches a certain residual number of days
(see “Temporary Instant Capacity Warning Period” on page 83), a
reminder e-mail message is automatically sent to the system-contact, if
one is specified, and root. These messages will be sent on a daily basis
until temporary capacity has expired. Here is an example of a temporary
capacity expiration reminder e-mail message:
Example 5-4 Temporary Capacity Expiration Reminder
To: [e-mail]
Subject: Temporary Capacity Expiration Reminder
***************************************************************************
**** Failure to perform the following steps will result in the system ****
**** attempting to deactivate procesors on any booting partitions ****
**** until the system is in compliance with the ICOD contract. ****
***************************************************************************
This message is being sent to remind you that your iCOD system (containing
the partition, krmt10b) has 3 processors currently consuming temporary
capacity (TiCOD) and that the temporary capacity balance at the current
consumption rate is projected to expire on or around:
05/31/05 16:00:00
You can view the current temporary capacity balance and consumption rate,
by using the icod_stat command.
To adjust the number of calendar days to receive the temporary capacity
warning before temporary capacity actually expires use: icod_modify -w
Before the temporary capacity balance runs out, you must perform one of the
following steps:
1. Purchase and apply additional temporary capacity.
2. Deactivate processors until the number of inactive processors in
the system matches the expected number of iCOD processors reported
by icod_stat.
3. Purchase the number of processors currently consuming temporary
capacity and apply the Right-to-Use licenses to the system so that they
can be permanently activated.
