enablement key that allows the administrator to turn processors and memory on
and off as desired, in increments of one processor and 1 GB of memory. The
system monitors the amount and duration of the activations and generates a
usage report which must be sent to IBM monthly. Billing for the activated
resources is based on the usage report. Clients only pay for the processor days
and memory days after they have been used.
The process for implementing On/Off CoD resources can be summarized in the
following four steps:
1. Planning, registration, and contracts
The client must ensure that the system meets the minimum levels for
firmware, hardware management console, and operating system as
mentioned in 4.1, “Capacity on Demand overview” on page 86. Additionally,
there are activation and configuration rules for processor and memory
resource activation on the p5-590 and p5-595 systems. This information is
summarized in 4.9, “Capacity on Demand configuration rules” on page 103.
Once the system configuration and code levels have been verified, the client
must access the On/Off COD Sales Channel Web site to register for On/Off
CoD program participation and identify the target server(s) involved. Finally,
the client must sign contracts and licensing agreements to establish the
desired billing method. The contracts will be filed with the Capacity on
Demand Project Office. Contact your IBM sales representative for additional
guidance on the contracts and registration process. The Sales Channel
Contracts and Registration page can be accessed using the URL below:

2. Enablement
Before activating On/Off temporary capacity on the target server(s), a client
must place an order for the appropriate enablement features. Once the order
is placed, IBM Manufacturing will generate an enablement code and deliver it
to the client with the same process as other CoD activation codes. The client
will receive a hard copy of the enablement code by mail and the enablement
code will be posted online to allow convenient retrieval access. The
enablement code, once entered, provides the administrator the ability to
activate standby resources using the hardware management console as seen
in Figure 4-2 on page 92. An On/Off CoD enablement code enables the
server to use On/Off CoD for up to 360 processor days of temporary capacity
usage. When the limit is reached, a new enablement feature must be ordered,
and entered to again authorize the ability to activate the resources.
Separate features are needed for processor and memory enablement.
