After you have decided to take advantage of On/Off Capacity on Demand (CoD),
you must order an On/Off CoD enablement feature. The enablement feature provides
the On/Off CoD enablement code that allows you to request temporary activation
of inactive processors or memory units by entering the code on your server.
Notes: - An HMC is required to use On/Off Capacity on Demand.
- You must have an assigned contract for the enablement code before you
can obtain the enablement code.
- The enablement code is available only through an MES upgrade order.
- An On/Off CoD enablement code enables you to request temporary capacity
on the server. You can make requests for temporary capacity over the life
of the machine as long as your total days do not exceed the predefined limit.
When the limit is reached, a new On/Off CoD enablement feature must be ordered
and a new enablement code entered on your server. Each time a new enablement
code is entered, it will reset the limit of processor days or memory days
that can be requested as temporary capacity.
