Activating a Deconfigured Processor in Offline
Activation Mode
At some time after you have deconfigured processors, you may desire to
activate the deconfigured processors. To accomplish this, you must first
convert the deconfigured processors into deactivated processors, and
then activate the processor.
The following steps outline what needs to be done if you want to activate
a deconfigured processor:
System state:
• The system is booted
• One or more processors are deconfigured
• No processors are deactivated by iCOD software
Procedure:
Step 1. Reboot the system and stop the boot process at BCH
Step 2. At BCH, configure processors per configuration rules
Step 3. Boot the system (iCOD software deactivates the previously deconfigured
processors — assuming you have not increased the number of requested
active processors)
Step 4. Execute icod_modify -a to instantly activate the newly configured
processors

system to online activation mode. In online activation mode, you can
instantly activate your inactive processors:
