Installing Capacity Upgrade on Demand

Capacity Upgrade on Demand is a flexibility option for your system that allows
increased processor capacity when you want it. You can order the feature on a new
system, or add it to an installed system to ensure that you have additional processing
power available if you need it. After the hardware is installed, additional processors are
available anytime. When changes to the system configuration are made, Electronic
Service Agent notifies the CUoD (Capacity Upgrade on Demand) project office of the
change by communicating through a modem and a dedicated phone line.
You can increase your system's processing capacity in increments of two processors by
entering a command on the operating system command line. For more information
about Capacity Upgrade on Demand, see Chapter 3, "Using the Capacity Upgrade on
Demand Feature" on page 41.
If you are installing a system that was ordered with a processor Capacity Upgrade on
Demand feature, go to "Installing a System with the Capacity Upgrade on Demand
Feature" on page 43 and follow the instructions to install and verify the feature.
If the Capacity Upgrade on Demand feature is already installed in your system and you
want to upgrade to use additional processors, go to "Enabling the Capacity Upgrade on
Demand Feature" on page 45.
