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. There is a comprehensive set of tools, resources and offerings available t o aid IBMers, customers, and partners with [...]

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). This standby capacity, could be permanently activat[...]

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 ... then Skip to Step4 A) Sales Channel/Customer prints V PD from the server, by following these ste[...]

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 . To retrieve the POD Activation Code follow these steps: 1) Go to the following Web-site: http: /[...]

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. After entering a POD Activation Code, the [...]

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 a Code is posted/mailed, IBM will dispatch an IBM service representative to the customer location to "invalidate" the posted/mailed Code by [...]

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). Starting with V5R1, this capability is offered on iSeries servers with CUoD to help minimize the impact to server performance caused by a[...]

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. STEP1: Standby processors must be activated to become av[...]

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. This value continues to be available for all iSeries servers. It is important to u[...]

CPW is representative of commercial applications, particularly those that do significant database processing in conjuncti[...]

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. PATROL is a capacity planner that can often be used for both initial planning and[...]
