The icod_stat command provides the following temporary capacity information:
Amount of temporary
capacity remaining (in days, hours, and minutes)
Number of processors using
temporary capacity — this is the number of active processors
that are not licensed
Projected temporary capacity
expiration date and time — this is based on the current
temporary capacity consumption rate
You can find this information in the Global iCOD
Information section from the icod_stat command’s output.
Here is an example of temporary capacity information, from
the Global iCOD Information section of the icod_stat command’s output:

Temporary Capacity Expiration Reminder
The Instant Capacity software calculates when the temporary
capacity balance will expire, based on the current consumption rate.
After the temporary capacity balance reaches a certain residual
number of days (see “Temporary
Instant Capacity Warning Period”),
a reminder e-mail message is automatically sent to the system-contact,
if one is specified, and root. These messages
will be sent on a daily basis until temporary capacity has expired.
Here is an example of a temporary capacity expiration reminder e-mail
message:
Example 5-4 Temporary
Capacity Expiration Reminder
To: root@par1.yourorg.com
Subject: Temporary Capacity Expiration Reminder
***************************************************************************
**** Failure to perform the following steps will result in the system ****
**** attempting to deactivate procesors on any booting partitions ****
**** until the system is in compliance with the ICOD contract. ****
***************************************************************************
This message is being sent to remind you that your iCOD system (containing
the partition, krmt10b) has 3 processors currently consuming temporary
capacity (TiCOD) and that the temporary capacity balance at the current consumption rate is projected to expire on or around:
05/31/05 16:00:00
You can view the current temporary capacity balance and consumption rate,
by using the icod_stat command.
To adjust the number of calendar days to receive the temporary capacity
warning before temporary capacity actually expires use: icod_modify -w
Before the temporary capacity balance runs out, you must perform one of the following steps:
1. Purchase and apply additional temporary capacity.
2. Deactivate processors until the number of inactive processors in
the system matches the expected number of iCOD processors reported
by icod_stat.
3. Purchase the number of processors currently consuming temporary
capacity and apply the Right-to-Use licenses to the system so that they
can be permanently activated.
See the iCOD User's Guide at /usr/share/doc/icodUserGuide.pdf for more information.
Also note that the output from icod_stat during the warning period includes a warning about the
expiration of temporary capacity.
