Instant Capacity Cell Board Licensing Examples
Chapter 698
Example 6-1 Licensing a Cell Board without increasing the number of
licensed processors
For example, if you have an nPartition with two cell boards that have
four active processors on the active cell board, and an inactive cell board
with four unlicensed processors, licensing the inactive cell board results
in two licensed processors per cell board. That is, the Instant Capacity
software distributes the number of licensed processors across the two cell
boards. The total number of licensed processors has not changed, so no
additional licensing of processors is necessary.
In the above example, the newly licensed cell board can be activated
immediately because the nPartition is in compliance.
