Introduction

Purchase of an RTU license may take one or more days. To avoid a delay in activation of additional processors, it is a good idea to purchase and keep in reserve some quantity of Temporary Instant Capacity for the system. Temporary Instant Capacity can be used to instantly activate processors while waiting for a permanent RTU license to be acquired.

The Instant Capacity software product is a part of the HP Utility Pricing (formerly On Demand) Solutions program.

This user’s guide provides you with the most recent information on using the Instant Capacity versions B.07.x software to manage processing capacity in your HP enterprise server.

All personnel with system administrator access (that is, root login privileges) to an Instant Capacity system should read and understand the contents of this document and the implications of increasing processing capacity.
