POWER5 information.

Using on-demand utilities

Activate inactive processors or inactive system memory without restarting your server or interrupting your business.

Capacity on Demand (CoD) allows you to permanently activate inactive processors or inactive system memory without requiring you to restart your server or interrupt your business. You can also view information about your CoD resources.
Important: Use this information if a hardware failure causes the system to lose its Capacity On Demand or Function On Demand purchased capabilities, and if there has never been an HMC managing the system. If an HMC is managing the system, use the HMC to perform the following tasks instead of the ASMI.
