Capacity on Demand (CoD) allows you to dynamically activate one or more resources on your server as your business peaks dictate. You can activate inactive processors or memory units that are already installed on your server on a temporary and permanent basis.
CoD is available on select IBM servers. Refer to machine type/model tables within each CoD offering section of this document. Some servers include a number of active and inactive resources. Active processors and active memory units are resources that are available for use on your server when it arrives from the manufacturer. Inactive processors and inactive memory units are resources that are included with your server, but are not available for use until you activate them.
These topics contain information about how to use CoD with the Hardware Management Console (HMC). For information about how to use CoD with the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI), see Using on-demand utilities.
