About Capacity on Demand

Capacity on Demand is an option that allows you to purchase spare processing resources (CPUs) for your server. The spare resources are provided in the form of one or more CPUs on COD boards that are installed on your server.

However, to access these COD CPUs, you must first purchase the COD right-to-use (RTU) licenses for them. Under certain conditions, you can use COD boards before entering the license information.

Note – The term COD board refers to a COD system board in a high-end server, and to a single-board COD model midrange server.
