Instant Capacity Cell Board Licensing Examples
Chapter 6 97
Instant Capacity Cell Board Licensing
Examples
There must be at least one licensed processor available for an Instant
Capacity cell board you wish to license. However, this does not
necessarily mean a processor needs to be licensed or that the total
number of licensed processors increases. No additional processor licenses
are required unless the requirement of a minimum of one licensed
processor per licensed cell board could not be met without licensing an
additional processor. In summary, if the number of licensed processors in
an nPartition equals (or exceeds) the number of licensed cell boards, then
licensing of additional processors is not necessary.
NOTE The following examples assume that the number of intended active
processors has not been increased just prior to the Cell Board Instant
Capacity licensing.
