Ordering PowerVM Editions features

You can order PowerVM® Editions features for a new server, a server model upgrade, or an installed server.

For a new server or a server model upgrade, your order can contain one or more PowerVM Editions features, resulting in a single PowerVM Editions code. In this case, the PowerVM Editions code is entered before the server is sent to you.

When you order PowerVM Editions features for an installed server, determine which PowerVM Editions technology you want to enable and then order the associated features. A single PowerVM Editions code will be generated for you to enter that enables all of the technologies that you ordered.

Perform the following steps to order one or more PowerVM Editions features:

1. Determine which PowerVM Editions features you want to enable. For more information, see PowerVM Editions concepts.
2. Contact your IBM® Business Partner or IBM sales representative to place your order for one or more PowerVM Editions features.
3. Enter the resulting code on your server to enable PowerVM Editions. See Activating PowerVM Editions for more information.
