Instant Capacity Cell Board Activation Exception Error
Instant Capacity Cell Board Activation Exception Error
When you attempt to activate an Instant Capacity cell board in an nPartition, depending on the number of licensed processors that are currently available in the complex, there is a chance the number of intended active processors for the nPartition is out of compliance and the activation fails. The following example illustrates this:
Table | nPartition | |
| assigned with 1 active and 3 | |
| inactive/unlicensed processors | |
|
|
|
| Cell 1 |
|
|
|
|
| A U U U |
|
|
|
|
Table | nPartition | |
| Capacity cell (#2) with 4 unlicensed | |
| processors (and no available processor | |
| licenses in the complex) | |
|
| |
| Cell 2 |
|
|
|
|
| U U U U |
|
|
|
|
Table | nPartition requested state: Instant Capacity | |
| Cell (#2) cannot be activated in nPartition |
Cell 1
Cell 2
A U U U
U U U U
In this case, the parmodify command fails. This is because the nPartition would have 2 active cell boards, and therefore must have at least 2 active processors. With only one processor license, the nPartition is out of compliance.
To activate the Instant Capacity cell board, and be in compliance, you must first purchase an additional processor license, or deactivate a processor in another partition if that is possible.
