Capacity Upgrade on Demand
Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) allows you to permanently
activate one or more inactive processor cores or memory units without
requiring you to restart your server or interrupt your business.
Capacity Upgrade on Demand concepts
With Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD), you can activate additional processor cores and memory units on selected servers by purchasing a permanent processor or memory unit activation feature. CUoD adds capacity for new workloads, which enables your server to adapt to unexpected performance demands.
Ordering Capacity Upgrade on Demand activation features
You can order activation features for a new server, a server model upgrade, or an installed server. After you place your order, you will receive a code that activates inactive processor cores or memory units.
Using Capacity Upgrade on Demand from ASMI
You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC ) or the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) to manage Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD).
