Go to step 3.
3. Send a request for the VET activation code for your replacement management card to the System p
Capacity on Demand mailbox at pcod@us.ibm.com.
If the ASMI was used to get the VET information, include the following fields and their values:
v System type
v System serial number
v Card type
v Card serial number
v Card ID
If the HMC or FSM was used to get the VET information, include the following fields and their
values:
v System type
v System serial number
v Anchor card CCIN
v Anchor card serial number
v Anchor card unique identifier
If the IVM lsvet -t code command was used to get the VET information, include the following fields
and their values:
v sys_type
v sys_serial_num
v anchor_card_ccin
v anchor_card_serial_num
v anchor_card_unique_id
Following is an example of a statement that you can include in the email:
Provide a VET activation code for the new
management card (anchor card) in my Flex power compute node.
The System p Capacity on Demand site then generates the code and posts the VET activation code on
the website.
4. Go to the Capacity on Demand Activation code web page to retrieve your code.
a. Enter the system type, which is the value of the sys_type field from the IVM or the System type
field from the ASMI, HMC, or FSM.
b. Enter the serial number, which is the value of the sys_serial_num from the IVM or the System
serial number field from the ASMI, HMC, or FSM.
If the code has not yet been assigned, then the following note is displayed:
No matching activation code found.
Otherwise, look for a VET entry with a date that aligns with your request date. Then, record the
corresponding VET activation code.
5. Enter the VET activation code to activate PowerVM virtualization through one of the following
methods:
v For ASMI, HMC, or IVM graphical user interface (GUI), see http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/
portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5091991.
v For FSM, see http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5091991.
v For IVM command-line interface (CLI), complete the following steps:
a. In an IVM session, enter the following command to activate the 34-character VET activation
code.
chvet -o e -k <activation_code>
Where, <activation_code> is the Activation Code.
