How to Use the HMC

Using Capacity Upgrade on Demand

Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) offers you the capability to permanently activate one or more inactive processors or memory units without requiring you to restart your server or interrupt your business.

When you have purchased one or more activation features, you will receive one or more activation codes to permanently activate your inactive processors or memory units.

To permanently activate your inactive processors or memory units:

1. In the Navigation area, open the Server and Partition folder. Click the Server Management icon.
2. Select the desired server.
3. In the tasks pad, select Capacity on Demand (CoD).
4. Click Enter CoD Code and enter the activation code you received.
