Note: When you request the activation code, you must supply the information that is
emphasized in the following example.
CoD VET Information
System type: 7895
System serial number: 12-34567
Anchor card CCIN: 52EF
Anchor card serial number: 01-231S000
Anchor card unique identifier: 30250812077C3228
Resource ID: CA1F
Activated Resources: 0000
Sequence number: 0040
Entry check: EC
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 HMC or SDMC 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 blade server.
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 HMC or SDMC.
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 HMC or SDMC.
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 HMC or IVM graphical user interface (GUI), see Entering the PowerVM activation code.
v For SDMC GUI, see Entering the activation code for PowerVM Editions using the SDMC.
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
