HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Versions 8.x

IMPORTANT: It is always a good idea to keep some quantity of temporary capacity in reserve.
Purchase of codewords may take one or more days, so having a buffer of temporary capacity
allows you to avoid delays in activation of additional cores. The Instant Access Capacity provides
this buffer initially, but as that capacity is depleted, ongoing purchases of additional Temporary
Instant Capacity are recommended to replenish this capacity.
The Instant Capacity software product is a part of the HP Utility Pricing Solutions (formerly On
Demand Solutions) program.
This user’s guide provides you with the most recent information on using the Instant Capacity
versions 8.x software to manage processing capacity in your HP enterprise server.
NOTE: All personnel with system administrator access (that is, root login privileges) to an
Instant Capacity system should read and understand the contents of this document and the
implications of increasing or decreasing processing capacity.
