iCOD Terminology
The following terms are commonly used in conjunction with iCOD:
activated processors
Processors that have been turned on by the iCOD
software or during installation. Processors are
activated with the icod_modify command while
HP-UX is running.
add-on system
A non-iCOD system that has been converted to an
iCOD system. This process is performed by a HP
service representative.
bound processor
Bound processors have I/O interrupts assigned to
them. Because HP-UX cannot migrate I/O interrupts to
or from a processor, you cannot dynamically add or
remove bound processors to or from a vPar.
configured processors
Processors that have been configured at the boot
interface and are now available for activation.
deactivated processors
Processors that either have not yet been activated or
that have been turned off by the iCOD software and
returned to the pool of inactive processors. These
processors are available for activation.
Note that new HP-UX processes are not assigned to a
deactivated processor and all processes running on the
deactivated processor are migrated to other processors
(with the exception that interrupt handlers may not be
migrated from deactivated processors).
