Using Instant Capacity to Manage Processing Capacity

Overriding Deferred Processor Activations and Deactivations

Example 4-6 Undoing an Accidental Deferred Processor Activation

1.On your system or partition you currently have 2 processors activated and 2 processors inactive. You accidentally perform a deferred activation for 1 additional active processor by entering the following command:

/usr/sbin/icod_modify -D -a 1

2.Later, and prior to a system reboot, you realize that you didn’t want to activate the additional processor — which would give you 3 active processors — and you want your number of active processors to be 2. You can override the initial deferred activation in Step 1 by entering the following command:

/usr/sbin/icod_modify -a 0

The -a 0 option in Step 2 (above) overrides the previous (deferred) icod_modify command, which was executed in Step 1. The -aoption is relative to the number of active processors (not the intended number of active processors).

You could accomplish the same result as Step 2 with the following command:

/usr/sbin/icod_modify -s 2
