Instant Capacity Codewords

Instant Capacity B.07.x uses codewords as a licensing mechanism for system components. That is, prior to activating unlicensed components, a right-to-use (RTU) codeword must be applied to the system. A license must be purchased from HP prior to receiving a RTU codeword.

Codewords are retrieved from the Utility Pricing Solutions web portal. See the Utility Pricing Solutions web portal information in “System Overview” on page 14 for details.

Application of a RTU codeword adjusts the number of unlicensed components present in the system. As a result, a previously inactive component can be activated at will.

The following codewords can be applied:

•Processor RTU

•Cell board RTU

•Memory RTU

•Temporary capacity

See “Acquiring and Configuring Temporary Instant Capacity” on page 77 for details on the use of temporary capacity codewords.

Codewords must be applied in the sequence in which they are obtained.
