POWER6 information
Capacity on Demand (CoD) offerings allow you to dynamically activate one or more resources on your server as your business peaks dictate. You can activate inactive processors or memory units that are already installed on your server on a temporary and permanent basis.
This topic describes Capacity on demand capabilities for IBM® POWER6™ servers managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC) Version 7 and later, and explains how to order and use each offering.
Capacity on demand offerings are available on select IBM servers. For ordering information, see the POWER6 machine type/model tables within each CoD offering section of this document. Some servers include a number of active and inactive resources. Active processors and active memory units are resources that are available for use on your server. Inactive processors and inactive memory units are resources that are included with your server, but are not available for use until you activate them.
This topic contains information about how to use Capacity on demand offerings with the Hardware Management Console (HMC) Version 7 Release 3.1.0 Maintenance Level 0 and later. This topic is also meant for users who are managing systems based on the POWER6 processor.
