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 6-3	nPartition pre-modification state: One cell
	assigned with 1 active and 3
	inactive/unlicensed processors
	Cell 1
	A U U U
Table 6-4	nPartition pre-modification state: Instant
	Capacity cell (#2) with 4 unlicensed
	processors (and no available processor
	licenses in the complex)
	Cell 2
	U U U U
Table 6-5	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.
