When a cell is assigned to a partition in an Instant Capacity
system, depending on the number of licensed processors available
in the system when the cell is assigned, the number of intended
active processors for the partition automatically changes. The following
example of a single partition with one assigned and one unassigned
cell illustrates this:
Table 4-1 Partition pre-modification state: One cell assigned with
3 active and 1 inactive processors
Table 4-2 Pre-modification state: Unassigned cell with 4 unused processors
and system-wide RTU licenses for 2 processors
| Cell 2 | | Available System Licenses |
|---|
| U U U U | | L | L |
Table 4-3 Partition post-modification state: Cell 2 assigned to partition
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 |
|---|
| A A A I | A A I I |
When Cell 2 is assigned to the partition, the number of intended
active processors for the partition is automatically changed to
5. When the partition is rebooted, 5 processors in the partition
are activated.
In general, when an unassigned cell is assigned to a partition,
the Instant Capacity software determines the number of unassigned processors
in the complex that are licensed. The Instant Capacity software
uses these licenses to activate as many processors as possible in the
new cell.

| NOTE: Cell boards are assigned to specific partitions and
cannot be shared between partitions. All processors on a cell board
are accessible only by a maximum of one partition. Processors on
one cell board cannot be shared across multiple partitions. |
