Temporary Instant Capacity for Unlicensed Processors

Temporary Instant Capacity Exceptions

Temporary Capacity Negative Balance

A complex is out of compliance with the Instant Capacity contract if a negative balance of temporary capacity occurs.

The Instant Capacity software sends an exception report (via e-mail) if there is a negative balance of temporary capacity. Exception information is also written to the syslog file. See “Handling Compliance Exceptions” on page 106 for details of the exception report for a negative temporary capacity balance.

If you continue to have more active processors than licensed processors across the complex, a negative capacity balance will result in a license enforcement action, as described in “Temporary Instant Capacity Expiration and License Enforcement” on page 84. If there is a negative temporary capacity balance but the number of licensed processors is greater than or equal to the number of active processors, then the complex remains in an exception state, but without (additional) license enforcement action.

Purchasing an additional right-to-use (RTU) processor license for the system clears out any previous violation of Temporary Instant Capacity. Purchase of sufficient additional temporary capacity will also clear out a negative balance.

Temporary Capacity Enforcement

When the temporary capacity balance has been depleted and you continue to have more active processors than licensed processors across the complex, a license enforcement action occurs on a partition reboot to bring the system into a state closer to licensing compliance (by deactivating one or more processors). Example 5-6 is an example of the message that is sent when the license enforcement results in a partially compliant state, but temporary capacity continues to be depleted. Example 5-7 is an example of the message that is sent when the enforcement is able to deactivate enough processors so that temporary capacity is no longer being used.
