iCOD Components

Overview

An iCOD component is a system component (processor, cell, or memory) that has not been licensed with HP. Before you can use an iCOD component it must be licensed with HP. See “License Requirement” for details on licensing iCOD components. Activation of components is restricted according to complex-wide compliance.

To activate an iCOD component, the component must first be purchased from HP and licensed by the application of a right-to-use (RTU) codeword. After a component is licensed it ceases to be an iCOD component. See “Applying a Right-To-Use (RTU) Codeword” for details.

iCOD Processors

An iCOD processor is contained in a cell board and it can be activated after proper licensing. iCOD processors become licensed after the application of a processor RTU codeword (using the icod_modify command). You must purchase a processor prior to receiving a RTU codeword.

Compliance of iCOD processors is determined by the quantity of non iCOD and iCOD processors, on a complex-wide basis. That is, the compliance of an iCOD system is determined by comparing the quantity of inactive processors with the expected number of iCOD processors for the entire complex, according to the iCOD contract with HP.

iCOD Cell Boards

iCOD cell boards offer you a way to have additional (inactive) cell board capacity in your system for growing business needs. When the need arises, these iCOD cell boards, which contain memory and processors, are then available for instant activation and use.

As with the iCOD CPU program, you must purchase and license (through the application of a cell board RTU codeword) an iCOD cell board prior to activation.

The cell board, memory, and processors are each licensed separately. To activate an iCOD cell, both the cell and all of the memory in the cell must be licensed.

Depending on the need, you may want to license one or more processors at the same time the cell and memory are licensed. After an iCOD cell board and all of its memory have been licensed, the cell board is available for activation. After the cell board is activated, all of the licensed processors on the cell board are available for activation.

See Chapter 6 “iCOD Cell Board” for more information on iCOD cell board.

	IMPORTANT: You must have one active processor for each active cell board.

iCOD Memory

Memory is contained in a cell board. The entire amount of memory on an iCOD cell board is available for use after the memory RTU codeword is applied and the memory is licensed.

An iCOD cell board must be licensed and activated before its memory can be used.
