Getting Started

Processor Activation

		Processor Activation
		As previously mentioned, an Instant Capacity system contains a
		specified quantity of activated processing capacity (cells, processors, and
		memory) and a specified amount of deactivated processing capacity. Not
		all components that may be activated need be active. Components that
		are allowed by license counts may be deactivated for various reasons,
		and can be instantly activated at need.
Increasing		When the processing demand significantly changes, you can enable use
Processing		of additional system components using the following procedure:
Capacity
Step	1. Decrease unlicensed component count — this is accomplished by sending
		a purchase order (P/O) to HP for a RTU license codeword. Soon after your
		P/O is received by HP, you should receive a letter from HP that contains
		information about retrieving the RTU codeword from the Utility Pricing
		Solutions web portal.
Step	2. Acquire the RTU codeword from the Utility Pricing Solutions web portal,
		http://www.hp.com/go/icod/portal
Step	3.	Apply the RTU codeword — by using the icod_modify -C
		command/option (note the -Coption is uppercase) on any partition in the
		complex
Step	4.	Activate a component — depending on the type of component, this is
		accomplished as follows:

a. Activate a processor in a hard partition (npar) by use of the icod_modify -acommand. Note: For details about activating a processor in a virtual partition, see “Instant Capacity Integration with Virtual Partitions” on page 132.

b. Activate a cell board by using the parmodify or parmgr command. See “Activation of an Instant Capacity Cell Board” on page 100 for details on activation of cell boards (and memory).
