New Partition Creation and Instant Capacity

New Partition Creation and Instant Capacity

You can assign a cell to an existing partition even if the cell contains unlicensed processors. In this case, it can be verified that the partition has valid Instant Capacity software installed, and that the partition is running an operating system capable of activating and deactivating processors.

However, at the time a new partition is created, these verifications are not possible; therefore, the Instant Capacity software does not allow the partition to be created unless it contains only licensed components. That is, new partition creation fails if any of the cell boards contain unlicensed components.
