iCOD Terminology
Appendix C140
inactive processor
A processor in an iCOD system that is currently
inactive, but is capable of activation by use of the
icod_modify command. An inactive processor is also
referred to as a “deactivated processor”.
migrating processors
The process of activating and deactivating processors
across partitions for load-balancing. See
“Load-balancing Active Processors” on page 61 for more
information.
monarch processor
This is the main controlling processor from the
perspective of the operating system. This processor is
designated as CPU 0. The LPMC monitor does not
deactivate/replace a failing monarch processor.
online activation
The ability to activate a deactivated processor while
HP-UX is running. No reboot is required. This is done
by using the icod_modify command. This is the
default behavior of iCOD.
offline configuration and activation
To manually configure a processor for activation from
the boot interface, boot to the system prompt, and then
use the icod_modify command to activate the
processor as you would in the online activation mode (a
two step process). A reboot is required for offline
configuration.
pay per use
The HP On Demand Solutions program that is a
pricing model in which you are charged for actual
processor usage. You acquire a specific hardware
platform, and number of processors, and are charged
for the actual usage, based on the number of active
processors in the complex.
