Processor Instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD)
Procedures for Changing Processor iCOD Configurations on nPartitions
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 416
Step 2. Consider any software licensing issues or nPartition system
configuration issues that you must address when changing from iCOD
Purchase to iCOD Utility (pay per use) or vice versa.
For example, some nPartitions may have different sets of processors
activated as a result of the change. Or, in the case of a pay per use (iCOD
Utility) contract, the set of activated processors in each nPartition may
change on an ongoing basis.
Such changes could potentially affect HP processor set (Pset)
configurations, or the configuration of HP Process Resource Manager
(PRM) or HP Workload Manager (WLM) software.
Removing iCOD Software and Functionality
from nPartitions
This procedure describes how to remove iCOD software and functionality
from an nPartition server complex after completing your iCOD
purchasing and contract obligations.
For more details, see the Instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD) and Pay
Per Use (PPU) User’s Guide for Version B.04.x and the Instant Capacity
on Demand (iCOD) User’s Guide for Version B.05.00.
Step 1. Confirm that all processors in all nPartitions in the server complex are
activated and purchased.
All processors in the complex are activated when: for every nPartition
the “requested active processors” equals the “total processors”. You can
check this by issuing the icod_stat command in each nPartition.
If you have a server complex that is under an iCOD Purchase contract,
you also must have paid the enablement fee for all processors. Confirm
this with your HP sales or service representative.
If your server complex is under an iCOD Utility (pay per use) contract,
you must check with your HP sales or service representative to
determine if you have met all contract requirements.
Step 2. After confirming with HP that you have completed all requirements, use
the swremove command to uninstall the iCOD Purchase or iCOD Utility
bundle.
