Chapter 8. Capacity upgrades 193
Draft Document for Review April 7, 2004 6:15 pm 6947ch08.fm

򐂰The new amount of installed memory cannot cause the storage granularity or increment to

change.

However, a new Reset Profile (to allow the customer to potentially select a higher storage

increment to Plan Ahead for concurrent memory upgrade) will be available.

The Minimum Storage Granularity will be the required storage granularity based on what

memory is currently LIC-CC installed. The Maximum Concurrent Upgrade Value will be the

smaller of the amount of storage which is physically installed and the maximum storage

allowed for the Minimum Storage Granularity (see 2.2.10, “LPAR stor age granularity” on

page 70).

CUoD for I/O

CUoD for I/O can add, concurrently, more I/O ports to a z990 server by either:

򐂰Enabling additional ports on the already installed I/O cards via LIC-CC.

LIC-CC-only upgrades can be done for ESCON channels and ISC-3 links, activating ports

on the existing 16-port ESCON or ISC-3 daughter (ISC-D) cards.

򐂰Installing additional I/O cards on an already installed I/O cage’s slots.

The installed I/O cage(s) must provide the number of I/O slots required by the target

configuration.

Figure 8-3 on page 193 shows an example of CUoD for I/O via LIC-CC.

Note: I/O cages cannot be installed concurrently.
