Temporary Instant Capacity (TiCAP)

Temporary Instant Capacity (TiCAP)

You can purchase an amount of processor temporary capacity in your Instant Capacity system. Temporary capacity is purchased in units of multiple processor-days. Temporary capacity allows one or more processors above the normal license count to be activated for up to the specified period of prepaid processor minutes, without requiring the purchase of the processor.

You can activate and deactivate processors as you wish until the activation time equals your prepaid temporary capacity duration. For example, with a prepaid duration of 30 processor-days of temporary capacity, you can activate one processor for 30 days or four processors for one hour a day for 180 days (or any combination that totals 43,200 processor-minutes).

Temporary Capacity cannot be used to activate processors in inactive Instant Capacity cell boards.

Your temporary capacity balance is decreased only when you are using more processors than normally allowed by your system license count. The charge against temporary capacity is not associated with specific processors or partitions. That is, if you have activated one processor in partition A using temporary capacity, and then deactivate any processor in partition B, the complex will stop charging temporary capacity.

Temporary capacity can be added to a system that contains unlicensed processors by purchasing and applying a temporary capacity codeword (available from the Utility Pricing Solutions portal) using the icod_modify -Ccommand/option.

The icod_stat command provides information on the amount of temporary capacity time remaining on the system/partition.

See Chapter 5, “Temporary Instant Capacity for Unlicensed Processors,” on page 73 for more information.
