Preface You knew you might need extra processing power to meet the demands of your e-business and you didn’t want to impact your current operational commitments to get it ... IBM offers a fast, non-disruptive method of activating "extra" processor capacity that is built directly into IBM eServer iSeries.
Purpose of Planning Guide This guide will explain in detail all the aspects of planning for, purchasing , and managing an IBM eserver iSeries with Capacity Upgrade on Demand (permanent capacity). CUoD a s defined in this document , is for the Model 825, 8 70 and 890 announced January 20, 2003 and made generally available Feb 28, 2003.

iSeries Capacity Planning Capacity planning is a 'business as usual' value-add function of IBM’s sales team. Any special considerations specific to iSeries Capacity Upgrade on Demand will be pointed out in this section.
Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CUoD) iSeries CUoD was first introduced for the iSeries in the fall of 2002. At that time, CUoD was synonymous with permanent processor capacity. CUoD provided iSeries customers who purchased an iSeries model with standby capacity (un-activated at the time of purchase).

Guidelines for Ordering a POD Activation Feature Guidelines for Ordering a POD Activation Feature Guidelines for Ordering a POD Activation Feature Guidelines for Ordering a POD Activation Feature Permanent Capacity can be activated by ordering POD Activation Features in any of the following order scenarios.
Ordering Permanent Capacity Ordering Permanent Capacity Ordering Permanent Capacity Ordering Permanent Capacity Once you have determined that you want to permanently activate some or all of your standby processors, you must contact your IBM business partner, IBM Sales rep, or visit IBM.
Step3: Sales Channel places an order in the IBM configurator for a specific quantity of POD Activation Features. If the Machine Serial# and/or the Capacity Card Serial# have not been altered outside of the IBM manufacturing/field maintenance process .
Step4: Customer retrieves the POD Activation Code from the web or waits for the POD Activation Code to be sent by mail. The POD Activation Code will be posted on the web usually within one business day of receiving the order on the manufacturing floor .
Important Considerations If the server is in bypass mode for the System Password, DST option 12 may not be available (no access to the DST screens associated with the CUoD functionality). If this is the case, you should obtain a valid System Password by contacting you IBM business partner or IBM Sales rep.

Cancellation of Orders Once an Activation Code is posted/mailed, the order is considered fulfilled and the downstream billing process will be started. If a customer decides to cancel the order, after .
Processor Failures Standby processors CAN be used as REPLACEMENTS for failed processors (Note: If the customer has activated all the standby processors, then obviously there aren't any to be used as spares).
Moving Hardware iSeries server to iSeries server interchange of processor and/or package features is iSeries system password protected. iSeries server to iSeries server interchange of processor and/or package features outside IBM standard practices and procedures, may void the server warranty or service contracts.
Logical Partitions Assign P rocessors Starting with V5R1, every server has a primary partition (whether or not a customer is actively using logical partitions). As a result, it is necessary to assign any activated processors to the primary (or a secondary) partition to utilize the processors.

SW Licenses SW Licenses SW Licenses SW Licenses Activating a processor does not change the software tier for Model 8 25, 870, or 890. Many partners use the Processor Feature Code value available on the server to set SW licensing fees for software developers software.
Performance Considerations Performance Considerations Performance Considerations Performance Considerations CPW Relative performance measurements are derived from commercial processing workloads (CPW) running on iSeries servers.
Tools There are several tools that can be used to help project which model/processor is appropriate for an initial installation and for projecting when standby processors should be activated. The Workload Estimator is typically used for sizing an initial installation.

An important point after buying a device IBM 870 (or even before the purchase) is to read its user manual. We should do this for several simple reasons:
If you have not bought IBM 870 yet, this is a good time to familiarize yourself with the basic data on the product. First of all view first pages of the manual, you can find above. You should find there the most important technical data IBM 870 - thus you can check whether the hardware meets your expectations. When delving into next pages of the user manual, IBM 870 you will learn all the available features of the product, as well as information on its operation. The information that you get IBM 870 will certainly help you make a decision on the purchase.
If you already are a holder of IBM 870, but have not read the manual yet, you should do it for the reasons described above. You will learn then if you properly used the available features, and whether you have not made any mistakes, which can shorten the lifetime IBM 870.
However, one of the most important roles played by the user manual is to help in solving problems with IBM 870. Almost always you will find there Troubleshooting, which are the most frequently occurring failures and malfunctions of the device IBM 870 along with tips on how to solve them. Even if you fail to solve the problem, the manual will show you a further procedure – contact to the customer service center or the nearest service center
