Temporary Instant Capacity Exceptions
Error for Unlicensed Activation with Insufficient
Temporary Capacity
You cannot activate an Instant Capacity processor with temporary
capacity unless there is a sufficient balance of temporary capacity on the
system. To increase the temporary capacity balance, see “Acquiring and
Configuring Temporary Instant Capacity” on page 77 for details.
Here is an example of the error message for attempting to activate an
unlicensed processor without a sufficient temporary capacity balance:
Example 5-5 Error Message for Unlicensed Activation with Insufficient
Temporary Capacity
/usr/sbin/icod_modify -t -a 1
ERROR: Operation not approved because there is not enough temporary capacity
on this system to satisfy the request. Activations require at least
30 minutes worth of temporary capacity per CPU consuming temporary
capacity.
Temporary Capacity Balance Needing Action
If the temporary capacity balance reaches 30 minutes or less, the
icod_stat command’s output displays “less than 30 minutes” in the
Exception status field (at the beginning of the icod_stat output).
When this state occurs, you need to take corrective action immediately
and do one of the following:
• Deactivate Instant Capacity processors that are utilizing temporary
capacity
• Apply additional temporary capacity codewords
• Permanently license additional processors
