| Using Instant Capacity to Manage Processing Capacity |
| Activating Processors |
Constraints | The Instant Capacity software will not activate a processor that is |
| marked for deconfiguration. Also, you cannot use Instant Capacity to |
| activate more processors than are configured in the current nPartition. If |
| you want more, you need to modify the nPartition with the parmodify |
| command. You can use Instant Capacity to activate more processors than |
| are configured into the current virtual partition, but only if the |
| associated nPartition contains enough unassigned processors to fulfill |
| the request. Otherwise, you need to use parmodify to reconfigure the |
| nPartitions, or vparmodify to remove processors from other virtual |
| partitions within the same nPartition (essentially, adding to the |
| unassigned pool). |
| To activate one or more inactive processors, use the icod_modify |
| command as root. See the manpage icod_modify(1M) for details. |
