About Capacity on Demand
COD is an option that allows you to purchase spare processing resources for your
server. The spare resources are provided in the form of one or more CPUs on COD
boards that are installed on your server. However, to access these COD CPUs, you
must first purchase the COD right-to-use (RTU) licenses for them. Under certain
conditions, you can use COD boards before actually purchasing a license.
