programs. Clients have the choice of purchasing an additional full license of the
OS or middleware, which will give them 365 processor days of license
entitlements per year, or purchase individual daily software license entitlements
for just the number of processor days utilized.
Daily license entitlements may only be purchased and used under the following
conditions:
The client must have purchased at least one full license of the OS or
middleware.
The client must have a current On/Off CoD, Reserve CoD, or Trial CoD
feature in effect on the server (daily license entitlements may only be used in
conjunction with temporary processor activations on the server).
There is no software defect or upgrade support associated with a daily license
entitlement, if the client wants defect or upgrade support for the OS or
middleware, they must have a current SWMA on the base license of the OS or
middleware.
Clients must sign contract Z125-6907, Amendment for iSeries™ and pSeries
Software On/Off Capacity on Demand.
An example is if the client has a 32-way server with 24 active processors and 8
inactive processors with AIX 5L, Cluster Systems Management (CSM), and
HACMP running in the server, and purchases an On/Off CoD enablement
feature. When the client enters the enablement key into the HMC, processors
and memory may be activated and deactivated when needed. Quarterly, the
client will receive a report from IBM indicating how many processor days have
been utilized. This data is captured by the system and is reported monthly to
IBM. If the report shows 30 processor days were utilized in the quarter, the client
must then order 30 daily license entitlements for AIX 5L, and if CSM and HACMP
were also running on these temporary processors, the client must order 30 daily
license entitlements for CSM and HACMP.
