Temporary Capacity for iCOD Processors
Utilizing Temporary Capacity for iCOD Processors
Chapter 7 85
Ordering Temporary Capacity for New iCOD
Processors
iCOD processors do not automatically include temporary capacity
rights. To utilize temporary capacity on newly ordered iCOD
processors, you first order iCOD processors as you normally do. In
addition, order temporary capacity rights separately, in units of 30
processor-days. There is one temporary capacity product per class of
HP server.
For example, to add two new iCOD 750MHz processors to your rp8400
server, and two 30 processor-day units of temporary capacity:
1. Order the two iCOD processors with the HP product number A6718A
2. Order the two 30 processor-day units of temporary capacity
The two units of temporary capacity provide you with 60
processor-days of temporary capacity. A processor-day is the usage of one
iCOD processor for one 24-hour period. The processor-days can be used
among any of the iCOD processors installed in your iCOD system.
Ordering Temporary Capacity for Existing Systems
To add temporary capacity credits to your existing iCOD system, that
contains iCOD processors, just order the desired quantity of the
temporary capacity product for your type of server. Be sure to specify
the system serial number, which is required for orders of iCOD
processors and temporary capacity, for installed base systems.
Licensing and Support
When you purchase temporary capacity, included are the temporary
HP-UX license to use and support for the iCOD processors. Your iCOD
system must be properly licensed for the HP-UX Operating Environment
(OE), before activating iCOD processors under temporary capacity.
Software licenses for 3rd party software may also be needed. Check with
your application software vendor for licensing requirements.
