Ordering Power Enterprise Pools

To order a Power Enterprise Pool, contact your IBM® Business Partner or IBM sales representative.

Your IBM Business Partner or IBM sales representative helps you complete the following steps:
  1. Complete and submit the Power Enterprise Pool contract and addendum specifying all system serial numbers to be included in the pool. A copy must be sent to the Power Systems™ CoD Project Office (pcod@us.ibm.com) to generate a pool ID number.
  2. Order mobile enablement and processor and memory activation features for participating systems. Every system in the pool must have feature code EB35 as an identifier.

When the order is fulfilled, a configuration file is generated which contains a Power Enterprise Pool membership activation code for each of the systems in the pool along with the Mobile processor activation code and Mobile memory activation code for the pool. The file might also contain codes to convert permanently activated resources on servers in the pool to Mobile CoD resources. This file is made available on the Capacity on Demand (CoD) website. The file is required by the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to create the pool.
