Activation of an Instant Capacity Cell Board

| Activation of an Instant Capacity Cell Board |
|
| An Instant Capacity cell board is usually assigned to an nPartition; |
|
| however, it does not participate in the boot of the nPartition. Activating |
|
| an Instant Capacity cell board that is licensed is a two step process: |
Step | 1. Set the cell board’s | |
|
| parmodify command |
Step | 2. Perform a reboot of the nPartition (using the shutdown | |
Example |
| Activating a cell board in cabinet 0, slot 5, nPartition 3 |
|
| For example, changing the |
|
| Capacity cell board in cabinet 0, slot 5, in nPartition 3 can be |
|
| accomplished via the following command: |
|
| /usr/sbin/parmodify |
|
| If there are available licensed processors in the complex, the number of |
|
| intended active processors is increased as high as possible, limited |
|
| by the number of processors in the newly activated cell board. The |
|
| available processor licenses are automatically used in the cell activation. |
|
| After you have set the cell board’s |
|
| performed the reboot, you can use the icod_modify command to activate |
|
| processors that are listed as inactive processors that can be |
|
| activated (as reported by the icod_stat command). |
|
| The number of active processors in the nPartition remains the same |
|
| after the cell board is made active — unless prior to the cell board’s |
|
| activation the number of intended active processors is greater than |
|
| the number of active processors (as reported by the icod_stat |
|
| command). |
|
| Activating an Instant Capacity cell board causes at least one processor to |
|
| become active on that cell board. |
|
|
|
IMPORTANT |
| The above parmodify command fails if a licensed processor is not |
|
| available for activation on the newly activated cell board. |
