returned to the default setting by specifying an empty

 

string (""). The system identifier is a string that you

 

specify to help track your own systems.

-r

Reconcile. Activate or deactivate processors (subject to

 

compliance limits) to bring the system to a state where

 

the intended number of processors are active.

-w<warning days> Set temporary capacity warning period to number of days. If not specified, the default warning period is 15 days. The iCOD software calculates when the temporary capacity will expire based on the current consumption rate. When the temporary capacity balance is projected to be depleted within the warning period, a warning message is sent by e-mail to the system-contact if specified, and root. Note that if temporary capacity is depleted and you continue to have more active processors than licensed processors across the complex, on the next reboot of any partition in the complex the software will automatically deactivate one or more unlicensed processors in order to bring the system into a state closer to licensing compliance. The Instant Capacity software will deactivate as many processors as is necessary to either stop consumption of temporary capacity or to bring the partition to the minimum number of required active processors.

-s <n>

Sets the number of active processors to n, as long as the

 

end result does not take the complex out of compliance.

 

Depending on the value of n, this option works exactly

 

as the -aoption (if n is greater than the current

 

number of active processors), or exactly as the -d

 

option (if n is less than the current number of active

 

processors).

-t

Authorize use of temporary capacity. This option, in

 

combination with either the -aor the -soption,

 

specifies that a processor activation is allowed to

 

consume temporary capacity. Temporary capacity is

 

used when the number of active processors exceeds the

 

number of licensed processors and is no longer used

 

when the number of active processors is decreased to

 

the number of licensed processors. Use icod_modify
