Processor Instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD)
Procedures for Changing Processor iCOD Configurations on nPartitions
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 413
Step 2. Issue the icod_modify command with either the -a # option (to activate
# processors) or -d # option (to deactivate # processors).
You must include the following details after the -a or -d option. This
information is recorded in the nPartition’s iCOD change log.
[ description ]: user_name : mgr_name : mgr_email : mgr_phone
These details provide an optional description of the change, the name of
the user/person making the change, and the authorizing manager,
manager’s e-mail address, and manager’s phone number.
For example, to activate two processors (-a 2):
# icod_modify -a 2 "two CPUs added":Ann:Joe:[e-mail]:555-5555
In the next example, one processor is deactivated (-d 1):
# icod_modify -d 1 "one less CPU":Ann:Joe:[e-mail]:555-5555
See also the icod_modify (1M) manpage for details.
Step 3. As desired, issue the icod_stat command to list the new processor
configuration details for the local nPartition.
Setting the Total Number of Requested Active Processors
This procedure (using the icod_modify -s... command) sets the total
number of requested active processors for an nPartition with iCOD
software installed and configured.
Performing this procedure can increase or decrease the number of
activated processors in an nPartition.
NOTE Activating or deactivating processors can affect your billing for iCOD
services.
On systems with HP processor set (Pset) software installed: newly
activated processors are assigned to the default Pset, and deactivated
processors are removed from the Pset to which they were assigned.
Step 1. Login to the nPartition in which you will be activating or deactivating
processors.
