Procedures for Changing iCOD
Configurations on nPartitions
This section covers the following procedures for changing the iCOD
configuration on nPartitions. These procedures apply for both iCOD
Purchase and iCOD Utility software and contracts.
• Activating and Deactivating Processors with iCOD on page 320
This procedure (using the icod_modify -a... or icod_modify -d...
command) activates or deactivates processors in an nPar with iCOD.
• Setting the Total Number of Requested Active Processors with iCOD
on page 321
This procedure (using the icod_modify -s... command) sets the total
number of requested active processors for an nPar with iCOD.
• Load Balancing Processors across nPartitions with iCOD on page 322
This procedure (using both the icod_modify -d... and icod_modify -a...
commands) adjusts the balance of activated processors across two
nPars in the same server complex: deactivate processors in one nPar
and activate the same number of processors in another nPar.
• Changing the Type of iCOD Contract for an nPar Server Complex on
page 323
This procedure describes how to change your existing iCOD contract to
either iCOD Purchase or iCOD Utility by contacting HP sales or
support representatives.
• Removing iCOD Software and Functionality from nPars on page 324
This procedure describes how to remove iCOD software and
functionality from an nPar server complex after completing your iCOD
purchasing and contract obligations.
NOTE The following nPartition changes also can cause iCOD software to
activate a different number or set of the nPar’s processors: adding and
removing cells from an nPar, making cells active or inactive, or
configuring or deconfiguring processors from cells in the nPar.
