Using Instant Capacity to Manage Processing Capacity

Assigning a Cell to a Partition

 

In general, when an unassigned cell is assigned to a partition, the

 

Instant Capacity software determines the number of unassigned

 

processors in the complex that are licensed. The Instant Capacity

 

software uses these licenses to activate as many processors as possible in

 

the new cell.

 

 

NOTE

Cell boards are assigned to specific partitions and cannot be shared

 

between partitions. All processors on a cell board are accessible only by a

 

maximum of one partition. Processors on one cell board cannot be shared

 

across multiple partitions.
