What is the difference between iCOD and pay per use on Superdome?
Under iCOD: When iCOD processors are activated, you must pay an
enablement fee. iCOD processors cannot be deactivated, unless you are
load balancing between partitions in a Superdome complex, and not
changing the total number of active processors.
Under pay per use: You can activate and deactivate processors as your
needs change. The number of active processors is reported automatically
to HP (via e-mail) and you are billed each month based on your usage.
