Instant Capacity Terminology
Appendix B 157
migrating processors
The process of activating and deactivating processors
across partitions for load-balancing. See
“Load-Balancing Active Processors” on page 63 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. This is
also known as the boot 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, or the
vparmodify command in a virtual partition. This is the
default behavior of the Instant Capacity software.
Pay per use
The HP software product, which is a part of the HP
Utility Pricing Solutions program, that has a pricing
model in which you are charged for the processor
usage. You acquire a specific hardware platform, and
number of processors, and are charged for usage of the
processors depending on system demand.
right-to-access (RTA)
The initial fee a customer pays to enter the Instant
Capacity program and physically acquire possession of
an Instant Capacity component (memory, cell board, or
processor) which is unauthorized for use and inactive.
right-to-use (RTU)
The fee a customer pays to license an Instant Capacity
system component (memory, cell board, or processor).
The right-to-use authorizes the user to obtain a
codeword to activate Instant Capacity components. The
amount paid for this is called the “activation fee” or
“enablement fee”.
