Processor Sets

In an environment where processor sets are being used, icod_modify

will activate iCOD processors into the default processor set and will

deactivate processors only from the default processor set. Activation or

deactivation of processors in non-default processor sets is a two step

operation, where one step is the migration of processors into or out of the

default processor set and the other step is the activation or deactivation

of those processors.

See psrset (1M) for more information on processors sets.

Temporary Capacity Program

NOTE: Support for this program starts with HP-UX 11.11.

iCOD processors may include an amount of temporary capacity time.

This temporary capacity allows an iCOD processor to be activated for the

specified period of time without requiring the payment of an enablement

fee to HP for the permanent activation of the processor.

The temporary capacity associated with each iCOD processor is pooled.

Thus, the period of time that an iCOD processor is active will be

subtracted from the pool of temporary capacity time associated with all

iCOD processors.

Information about the amount of temporary capacity time remaining on

a system can be obtained from HP by executing the icod_notify

command, which will cause HP to respond via e-mail to the system

contact e-mail address. This response will contain, among other things,

the amount of temporary capacity time remaining for this system.
