You may desire to test your iCOD system for improved performance
by activating an additional processor. The use of temporary capacity (TiCOD)
is required for processor test activations. E-mail connectivity
to HP is required for the use of TiCOD.
See Chapter 7 “Temporary
Capacity for iCOD Processors” for
details of TiCOD.
The following testing guidelines are meant to be an aid to
your test plan. You may need to get consulting help to develop a
detailed test plan.
Test your applications
for proper functionality and performance with all of the iCOD processors
inactive. Be sure to check measurement tools that monitor processor
usage.
Acquire TiCOD for the amount
of processor test activation necessary.
Use TiCOD for activation
of an iCOD processor while your applications are running.
Confirm that measurement
tools, which monitor processor usage, account for the newly activated
processor.
Verify that applications
are benefiting from the performance of the extra processors (as
per your expectations for your applications). Note that some applications
may need to be restarted or reconfigured to take advantage of the
newly activated processors.
When you are finished with
your testing, use icod_modify to deactivate a processor that was activated with TiCOD.
