iCOD Compatibility with Processor Sets

Overview

The iCOD version B.05.x software successfully co-exists with processor sets (Psets).

To co-exist with Psets, the iCOD software only activates and deactivates processors in the default processor set. Processors in non-default processor sets are not activated or deactivated.

	NOTE: There must be at least one processor in the default processor set. The last remaining processor in the default processor set is unavailable for deactivation.

iCOD Software Compatibility with Psets — Supported Hardware Platforms

iCOD Compatibility with Psets — Supported Hardware Platforms. The iCOD B.05.x software is compatible with Psets and is supported on the following HP servers:

Scope of the iCOD Software Interacting with Psets

The iCOD software does not provide any additional functionality to specifically support adding or removing processors from a specific Pset, and it does not interfere with any Psets on the system. Processor activations and deactivations are limited to the default Pset.

Activation and Deactivation of Processors

In a non-vPar environment where Psets are present, the iCOD software only activates and deactivates processors in the default Pset.

Processors can be migrated to the default Pset for purposes of deactivation, or from the default Pset to other Psets after activation.

Psets on vPars

In a vPar environment, the iCOD software passes the request for a processor activation or deactivation to the vparmodify command. No special consideration is given to Psets from the vparmodify command’s perspective. Therefore, when using vPars, processors in non-default Psets must be bound processors. Otherwise, a processor designated for deactivation by vparmodify may be selected from an unexpected Pset.
