When you attempt to activate an Instant Capacity cell board
in an nPartition, depending on the number of licensed processors
that are currently available in the complex, there is a chance the
number of intended active processors for the
nPartition is out of compliance and the activation fails. The following
example illustrates this:
Table 6-3 nPartition pre-modification state: One cell assigned with
1 active and 3 inactive/unlicensed processors
Table 6-4 nPartition pre-modification state: Instant Capacity cell
(#2) with 4 unlicensed processors (and no available processor licenses
in the complex)
Table 6-5 nPartition requested state: Instant Capacity Cell (#2) cannot
be activated in nPartition
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 |
|---|
| A U U U | U U U U |
In this case, the parmodify command fails. This is because the nPartition would have
2 active cell boards, and therefore must have at least 2 active
processors. With only one processor license, the nPartition is out
of compliance.
To activate the Instant Capacity cell board, and be in compliance,
you must first purchase an additional processor license, or deactivate
a processor in another partition if that is possible.
