Reserve Capacity on Demand prepaid feature and reserve capacity prepaid code

After you have decided to take advantage of Reserve Capacity on Demand (CoD), you must order a reserve capacity prepaid feature. This provides you with a reserve capacity prepaid code that enables you to assign inactive processors to the shared processor pool that can be used for business peaks.

When you have decided to purchase a quantity of processor days in advance for Reserve CoD, you need to order one or more reserve capacity prepaid features. Each reserve capacity prepaid feature represents a number of processor days.

Based on the number of reserve capacity prepaid features ordered, a reserve capacity prepaid code is generated.

A reserve capacity prepaid code enables you to request inactive processors to be put in the shared pool. You can make requests for this capacity over the life of the server as long as there are prepaid reserve processors or days available.

A new reserve capacity prepaid feature must be ordered and a new reserve capacity prepaid code entered on your server before you can use the Reserve CoD function again. Each time a new reserve capacity prepaid code is entered, it adds to the existing limit of processor days that can be used as reserve capacity.

After your reserve capacity prepaid code is generated, you can access it using your system type and serial number at one of these CoD Web sites:
