Enabling Elastic Capacity on Demand

Enable your server for Elastic Capacity on Demand (CoD), before requesting temporary capacity on your server.

Perform the following steps to enable your server for Elastic CoD:

  1. Retrieve the Elastic CoD enablement code by accessing http://www-912.ibm.com/pod/pod.
  2. To enter your activation code on your server by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC), choose one of the following navigation options depending on the interface type of the HMC:
    • If you are using an HMC Classic or HMC Enhanced interface, use the HMC Capacity On Demand > Enter CoD Code task.
    • If you are using an HMC Enhanced+ interface, use the Capacity on Demand > CoD functions > Enter CoD Code task.

Your server is now enabled for Elastic CoD. To use your processors or memory, see Activating Elastic Capacity on Demand.
