Stopping an On/Off Capacity on Demand request

You can stop a request for temporary capacity before it expires.

On/Off Capacity on Demand (CoD) remains enabled on your server, but an issued request for temporary capacity will be stopped. For example, consider this scenario: you have requested the temporary activation of one inactive processor for 14 days. After seven days of this request, you determine that you do not need the temporarily activated processor for the remaining seven days of the request. You can stop the request and avoid being billed for any unused processor or memory days of your request. Stopping a request does not preclude making any further requests at a later time.

To stop a request for temporary capacity at any time during the period of requested temporary capacity:

  1. Return the On/Off CoD resources. See Returning On/Off Capacity on Demand resources for information about how to return On/Off CoD resources.
  2. In the navigation area of the Hardware Management Console window, expand Systems Management.
  3. Select Servers.
  4. In the contents area, select the server on which you want to stop your On/off CoD request.
  5. Select Tasks.
  6. Select Capacity on Demand.
  7. Select either Processor or Memory.
  8. Select On/Off CoD.
  9. Select Manage.
  10. Type 0 for the number of On/Off CoD processors and type 0 for the number of days, then click OK.
