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 processors 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 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)
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.
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.
