Unless you have a balance of Instant Access Capacity
or temporary capacity (or usage rights available from a GiCAP group),
additional usage rights must be acquired prior to activation of an
inactive core. To purchase additional usage rights:
Contact
your HP sales representative to purchase the appropriate Instant Capacity
Right to Use (RTU) products.
Acquire
a Right to Use (RTU) codeword from the Utility Pricing Solutions web
portal (located at http://www.hp.com/go/icap/portal).
Apply
the RTU codeword using the icapmodify command with
the -C option. Note that the -C option
is in uppercase.
Here is an example session of applying a core
RTU codeword using icapmodify -C:
Example 4-2 Applying an RTU Codeword (HP-UX)
> /usr/sbin/icapmodify -C mDwvj0M.fbHhKC9.byrgc8k.Pc7PjMt-1cp63H9.29xrDLU.g2CJhQM.RzuYyd6
The following valid codeword has been applied to the complex:
Right to Use Codeword
1 Core(s)
Use icapstatus(1M) to see the results of the application of this codeword.
NOTE: Application of Right to Use codewords does not result in the
activation of components. Use icapstatus(1M) to see the results
of the application of this codeword.
For cores: Use icapmodify(1M) to activate the cores.
For cell boards and memory: Use parmodify(1M) to activate cells
by setting the use_on_next_boot flag to ‘y’ or use parmgr(1M). |
The application of the codeword increments the
count of Additional cores that can be activated with current
usage rights (limited by the Number of inactive
cores) in the output of the icapstatus command.

 | IMPORTANT: RTU codewords are based on both the serial number
of a system and a unique sequencing value for that server. These codewords
must be applied in the sequence in which they are obtained for a particular
server. They can be applied to any partition on the server. |

of ordering iCAP components and ordering and applying usage rights.
