then the same number of activated iCOD processors are available

after performing a reboot for reconﬁg to make the newly added cell

active.

For example, in a two-cell nPartition that has six of its eight

processors activated with iCOD, adding another four-processor cell

brings the total processors to 12. However, the iCOD software keeps

the number of activated processors at six (no change). (Other of the

new cell’s resources—such as memory and I/O—are made available

for use in the nPartition.)

Likewise, removing a cell from an nPartition reduces the total

processors and the number of conﬁgured processors in the

nPartition. If enough processors remain available then the requested

number of iCOD processors are activated.

When not enough processors are conﬁgured, the iCOD software

activates as many processors as possible and the number of activated

processors is less than the number of “requested active processors”.

The sections that follow give more details for managing iCOD on

nPartitions.
