16 Hardware Management Console (HMC) Case Configuration Study for LPAR Management
Now, we force node nils to fail and prepare to start the takeover scenario (see
Figure 7).

Enabling On/Off CoD for processor and memory
Before activating the CPU and memory resources, you have to prepare the CoD
environment by getting an enablement code from IBM. For more information
about how to get an activation code, refer to the CoD Web site:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/ondemand/cod/
򐂰Activating On/Off CoD using the graphical interface. From the Server
Management window, highlight the managed system. Click on Selected →
