Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) allows you to permanently activate
one or more inactive processors or memory units without requiring you to restart
your server or interrupt your business.
Capacity Upgrade on Demand concepts
With Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD), you can activate additional
processors and memory units on selected servers by purchasing a permanent
processor or memory unit activation feature. CUoD adds capacity for new workloads,
which enables your server to adapt to unexpected performance demands.
Ordering Capacity Upgrade on Demand activation features
You can order activation features for a new server, a server model
upgrade, or an installed server. After you place your order, you will receive
a code that activates inactive processors or memory units.
Using Capacity Upgrade on Demand
You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or the Advanced System Management
Interface (ASMI) to manage Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD).
