CUoD (aka. permanent capacity on demand)

IBM eServer iSeries

Ordering permanent capacity

Once you have determined that you want to permanently activate some or all of your standby processors, you must contact your IBM Business Partner, IBM Sales rep, or place an order at IBM.com for the purchase of a quantity of POD Activation Features (one or more).

Once an order reaches the IBM manufacturing site, a POD Activation Code unique to the target server is generated, mailed, and posted at the following web-site for quick access:

http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/ondemand/cod

Several days should be allowed for order processing and the resulting POD Activation Code posting to take place. This is an important consideration when determining if you should also enable your server for temporary capacity (On/Off CoD). Temporary capacity can be used to satisfy any peak workload requirements while an order for the activation of permanent capacity is being fulfilled.
