IBM Power System E850C: Technical Overview and Introduction
An
exception request
for Trial CoD requires you to complete a form that includes contact
information and VPD from your Power E850C server with inactive CoD resources. An
exception request activates all inactive processors or all inactive memory (or all inactive
processor and memory) for 30 days. An exception request can be made only one time over
the life of the machine. An HMC is required to manage Trial CoD activations.
To request either a Standard or an Exception Trial, visit the following location:

2.6.5 Software licensing and Capacity on Demand
Although Capacity on Demand orders are placed by using a hardware feature code, some
CoD offerings include entitlement to certain IBM Systems Software and operating systems for
the temporarily enabled capacity. Any other software products, including IBM applications and
middleware, are not included in this cost. Check with your software vendor to determine how
they charge for temporarily activated resources.
Capacity Upgrade on Demand permanently activates processor cores on the server. As such,
this is seen as new permanent capacity, and licenses need to be purchased for any operating
system and systems software running on this capacity. The activation code that is provided is
for the hardware resources only.
Elastic CoD, Utility CoD, and Trial CoD activations include incremental licensing for the
following IBM Systems Software and operating systems:
AIX
PowerVM
PowerVC
IBM PowerVP™
IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack
IBM Cloud PowerVC Manager
IBM PowerHA®
IBM PowerSC™
Cluster Systems Management (CSM)
IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS™)
Other IBM Systems Software or operating systems might also be included in the activations.
Linux operating systems licenses might already cover the additional capacity, dependent on
the licensing metric used. Check with your distributor for more details.
For more information about software licensing considerations with the various CoD offerings,

Power Systems Capacity on Demand User’s Guide:

2.6.6 Integrated Facility for Linux
When running Linux workloads on a Power E850C server, it is possible to reduce the overall
cost of processor and memory activations by ordering the Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL)
package (#ELJN). This chargeable option provides four processor activations, 32 GB of
Note: CoD does not ship any software or provide the base licensing entitlement. The
software has to be initially installed and licensed on the server before temporary CoD
provides the incremental licensing to cover the additional processor cores that are
temporarily activated.
