As previously mentioned, an iCOD system contains a specified
amount of activated processing capacity (cells, processors, and
memory) and a specified amount of deactivated processing capacity.
The deactivated processing capacity is made up of iCOD components,
which can be inactive processors and/or inactive cell boards and
memory.
Licensing an iCOD Component
iCOD components must be licensed prior to activation. A fully
licensed component is one that is licensed with HP (that is, a license
fee has been paid and a right-to-use (RTU) codeword has been applied).
Increasing Processing Capacity
When the processing demand significantly changes, you can
perform the following procedure to increase your iCOD systems processing
capacity:
License iCOD component — this
is accomplished by sending a purchase order (P/O) to HP for a RTU
license codeword. Soon after your P/O is received by HP, you should
receive a letter from HP that contains information about retrieving
the RTU codeword from the iCOD web portal.
Acquire iCOD component’s
RTU codeword from the iCOD web portal — this is accomplished
by retrieving the RTU codeword from the HP web site http://www.hp.com/go/icod/portal
Apply iCOD component’s
RTU codeword — this is accomplished by using the icod_modify -C command/option (note the -C option is
uppercase) on any partition in the complex
Activate iCOD component — depending
on the type of iCOD component, this is accomplished as follows:
Activate an
iCOD processor by using the icod_modify -a command/option
Activate an iCOD cell board by
using the parmodify or parmgr command. See “Activation
of an iCOD Cell Board” for details on activation of iCOD cell boards (and memory).
