Capacity On Demand

How To


Summary

This Technote provides a reference to functions that can be used to support Capacity on Demand (CoD).

With Capacity on Demand (CoD) offerings you can dynamically activate one or more resources on your server as your business peaks dictate. You can activate inactive processor cores or memory units that are already installed on your server on a temporary and permanent basis.

Capacity on demand offerings are available on select IBM® servers. For ordering information, see the POWER9 machine type/model tables within each CoD offering section of this document. Some servers include a number of active and inactive resources. Active processor cores and active memory units are resources that are available for use on your server. Inactive processor cores and inactive memory units are resources that are included with your server, but are not available for use until you activate them.
