Utilizing Temporary Instant Capacity
Auditing of temporary capacity is done at the complex level on Instant Capacity systems that support partitioning. While temporary capacity may have been purchased for use by a specific partition, it is available for use on all partitions in the system.
To use temporary capacity in a system that contains Instant Capacity processors, and has had the temporary capacity RTU codeword applied, follow this procedure:
To activate one or more processors in an nPartition, and allow them to use temporary capacity, use the icod_modify
In the following activation example, two processors are currently active in the partition. You desire to activate a third processor, but there is no licensed processor available for activation. Because temporary capacity is available on the system, you can activate a third processor with it.
Example
/usr/sbin/icod_modify -t -a 1
3 processors are now active, and 3 processors are specified to be active after the next reboot.
NOTE | Temporary capacity cannot be used to activate Instant Capacity |
| processors in inactive Instant Capacity cell boards. An RTU must be |
| purchased for the cell board. |
| When you want to decrease or stop using temporary capacity, you |
| |
| deactivate the appropriate number of processors. Note: you do not use |
| the |
| longer be used when the number of active processors is equal to the |
| number of licensed processors. |
