Temporary Instant Capacity for Unlicensed Processors

 

Tracking the Usage of Temporary Instant Capacity

Temporary

The Instant Capacity software calculates when the temporary capacity

Capacity

balance will expire, based on the current consumption rate. After the

Expiration

temporary capacity balance reaches a certain residual number of days

Reminder

(see “Temporary Instant Capacity Warning Period” on page 83), a

 

reminder e-mail message is automatically sent to the system-contact, if

 

one is specified, and root. These messages will be sent on a daily basis

 

until temporary capacity has expired. Here is an example of a temporary

 

capacity expiration reminder e-mail message:

Subject: Temporary Capacity Expiration Reminder

***************************************************************************

**** Failure to

perform the

following steps

will result in the

attempting

until the system is in

compliance with

the ICOD contract.

***************************************************************************

This message is being sent to remind you that your iCOD system (containing the partition, krmt10b) has 3 processors currently consuming temporary capacity (TiCOD) and that the temporary capacity balance at the current consumption rate is projected to expire on or around:

05/31/05 16:00:00

You can view the current temporary capacity balance and consumption rate, by using the icod_stat command.

To adjust the number of calendar days to receive the temporary capacity warning before temporary capacity actually expires use: icod_modify -w

Before the temporary capacity balance runs out, you must perform one of the following steps:

1.Purchase and apply additional temporary capacity.

2.Deactivate processors until the number of inactive processors in the system matches the expected number of iCOD processors reported by icod_stat.

3.Purchase the number of processors currently consuming temporary capacity and apply the Right-to-Use licenses to the system so that they can be permanently activated.
