You must use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to manage your Trial Capacity on Demand (CoD) activations.
Most Capacity on Demand (CoD) tasks on the HMC require the HMC Super Administrator
user role.
Activating Trial Capacity on Demand
You can activate your inactive processor cores or memory
for a trial period by obtaining and entering a trial processor code
or a trial memory code.
Stopping Trial Capacity on Demand
Trial Capacity on Demand (CoD) ends when the trial period
is over and the resources have been reclaimed by the server. You must
return the resources before the trial period has ended.
Returning Capacity on Demand resources
To return Trial Capacity on Demand (CoD)
processor cores or memory, you must remove the processor cores or
memory from the logical partitions to which they are assigned, thus
making them available to be reclaimed by the server.
Viewing and saving Trial Capacity on Demand code-generation information
You can view and save Trial Capacity on demand (CoD)
code-generation information using the Hardware Management
Console (HMC). You might need to do this
if the CoD code that was provided for your server does not work.
