Requested Active Processors Below Minimum Required
Appendix B 135
Requested Active Processors Below Minimum
Required
For Partitionable
iCOD Systems
Your iCOD system has a minimum number of processors that are
required to be activated. The minimum number of active processors in a
partition is one per cell board.
If the requested number of active processors is less than the required
minimum number of active processors, the system contact for your iCOD
system receives a notification e-mail message.
This can happen if a new cell board was activated on your iCOD system,
which increased the required minimum number of active processors.
For example, an iCOD partition has two requested active processors and
two active cell boards. If two additional cell boards are added to the
partition, the required minimum number of active processors becomes
four. Because the number of requested active processors (two) is less
than the required minimum number of active processors (four), a
notification e-mail message is sent to the system contact.
Example B-1 E-mail: Requested Active Processors Below Minimum Required
Subject: iCOD: Requested Active Processors Below Minimum Required
This mail is being automatically sent from system zooVpar0,
which is under an iCOD contract.
Upon boot, it was detected that the number of requested active
processors (2) was less than the minimum number of required active
processors (4). As a result, there are more active processors
on this system than requested. One way that this can happen is if
a new cell board was activated, which increased the minimum
number of processors required to be active on the system.
Having more active processors than requested usually means that
one or more iCOD processors have been activated and must be paid
for.
