Returning On/Off Capacity on Demand resources

To return On/Off Capacity on Demand (CoD) processors or memory, you must remove the processors or memory from the logical partitions to which they are assigned, thus making them available to be reclaimed by the server.

You do not need to remove the processors or memory from the same logical partitions to which they were assigned when you started your On/Off CoD request or Trial CoD. You can remove the processors or memory from any of your logical partitions.

It is best to remove processors or memory from a logical partition when the logical partition is running.

Logical partitions that are not activated might still have processors and memory assigned to them. To remove processors or memory from a logical partition that is not activated, you have these options:

• Modify a partition profile for the logical partition to reduce the number of processors or memory, and then activate the logical partition by using the modified partition profile.
• Delete the logical partition.
