If HP processor set (Pset) software is installed, deactivating processors
removes the corresponding CPU IDs from the Pset to which they were
assigned.
Step 2. Login to the second nPartition and activate the same number of
processors you deactivated in the previous step.
Refer to the procedure Activating and Deactivating Processors with iCOD
on page 320 and use the icod_modify -a... command to activate the
processors.
If HP processor set (Pset) software is installed, the newly activated
processors are assigned to the local nPar’s default Pset.
Changing the Type of iCOD Contract for an nPar Server Complex
This procedure describes how to change your existing iCOD contract to
either iCOD Purchase or iCOD Utility by contacting HP sales or support
representatives.
Changing the type of iCOD contract for a server complex will affect your
billing for iCOD services.
Step 1. Contact your HP sales or support representatives and request an iCOD
contract and software change.
Changing the type of iCOD contract and software will require that an HP
service representative alter the iCOD software configuration for all
nPartitions affected by the change.
For nPars that have multiple boot devices (such as PRI, HAA, and ALT),
HP iCOD software bundles on every boot device must be updated.
Step 2. Consider any software licensing issues or nPartition system
configuration issues that you must address when changing from iCOD
Purchase to iCOD Utility (pay per use) or vice versa.
For example, some nPars may have different sets of processors activated
as a result of the change. Or, in the case of a pay per use (iCOD Utility)
contract, the set of activated processors in each nPar may change on an
ongoing basis.
Such changes could potentially affect HP processor set (Pset)
configurations, or the configuration of HP Process Resource Manager
(PRM) or HP Workload Manager (WLM) software.
