Example 5-6 Error Message for Temporary Capacity Partial Enforcement
To: [e-mail]
Subject: iCOD license enforcement notice
This message is being sent to inform you that, due to expiration of temporary
capacity, 1 additional CPUs were deactivated on your iCOD system
(containing the partition par1) to bring the system into compliance with iCOD
licensing.
Prior to deactivation, the number of processor licenses distributed among the
partitions exceeded the number of available licenses by 3.
Also, 3 unlicensed CPUs were found to be active in the complex. This state
was likely the result of having activated iCOD processors using temporary
capacity (TiCOD) and then allowing the TiCOD balance to expire prior to
deactivation of the processors.
As a result, 1 licenses were revoked and 1 processors were deactivated in
conjunction with the revocation of the licenses.
There are currently 3 active CPUs and 1 CPU licenses. This complex is
not compliant with iCOD licensing. Other partitions may also experience
processor deactivation upon reboot until compliance is restored. To bring
the system back into compliance now, perform one or more of the following
steps:
1. Purchase and apply additional temporary capacity.
2. Deactivate processors until no processors are consuming temporary
capacity.
3. Purchase the number of processors consuming temporary capacity and
apply the Right-to-Use licenses to the system so that they can be
permanently activated.
To activate these 1 processors again, you can perform one of the
following actions:
1. Purchase a new TiCOD license, apply it to the system, and use TiCOD to
activate the processors.
2. Deactivate processors in other partitions after the system is in
compliance. This frees up the licenses associated with the processors
and allows them to be activated here.
You can view the current temporary capacity compliance of your system by using
the icod_stat command.
