icod_modify (1M) Manpage
a codeword. A complex is in a compliant state when the number of active components of a given type does not exceed the number of licensed components of a given type (processors, cells, memory).
Changes to the intended number of active processors using this command are persistent (survive system reboot). The intended number is the number of active processors that iCOD attempts to satisfy at system boot time, and is adjusted by use of the
When activating or deactivating processors within virtual partitions, special considerations apply because you can use either the icod_modify command or the vparmodify command, depending on the version of vPars being used, the type of adjustment needed, and the level of logging or reporting desired. For example, assignment via the vparmodify command does not result in logging of the activation,
For versions of vPars before A.04, HP recommends using the
icod_modify command when activating or deactivating processors in a virtual partition. This is the best way to ensure that the complex remains in a compliant state.
For vPars versions A.04 or greater, the icod_modify command must be used in a virtual partition environment when you are making any adjustment to an nPartition. If you are adjusting processor assignments across virtual partitions in a single nPartition, you should use the vparmodify command
For detailed information on the use of this command, activation and deactivation of iCOD components, licensing, and temporary capacity, see the Instant Capacity User's Guide located at /usr/share/doc/icodUserGuide.pdf.
