ACTIVATE RESOURCE

Use the ACTIVATE RESOURCE command to manually activate temporary capacity of a CPC in the provisioning domain. The additional capacity can be activated only for the On/Off CoD record that is identified in the domain configuration.

Note:
The number that is supplied as a parameter is the total number of resources that you want to have active, not the number of resources that you want to add to the already active resources.

Before performing the activation, the Provisioning Manager checks that the specified resource level is an activation, that is it has more capacity, and that the target record allows the requested change. The resources are not managed by the Provisioning Manager and they are not deactivated automatically.

Parameters

The command has the following parameters:

CPC=name
The name of the CPC on which you want to activate the additional capacity. The specified CPC must be part of the active domain configuration. The CPC must be at the supported hardware level, there must be an On/Off CoD record on the CPC that is managed by the Provisioning Manager, and this record must allow for the requested activation level.
MODEL=target
The model capacity identifier that you want to make active on the CPC. The target model must have more general purpose capacity measured in MSU than the current model. The On/Off CoD record managed by the Provisioning Manager must also allow for the capacity that is defined by the requested model.
ZAAP=number
The number of temporary zAAP processors that you want to have active. The target number must be higher than the number of active zAAP processors, and is limited by the number of spare processors on the machine, the maximum number of zAAP processors allowed by the On/Off CoD record, and the remaining capacity for zAAP processors of this record.
ZIIP=number
The number of temporary zIIP processors that you want to have active. The target number must be higher than the number of active zIIP processors, and is limited by the number of spare processors on the machine, the maximum number of zIIP processors allowed by the On/Off CoD record, and the remaining capacity for zIIP processors of this record.
IFL=number
The number of temporary IFL processors that you want to have active. The target number must be higher than the number of active IFL processors, and is limited by the number of spare processors on the machine, the maximum number of IFL processors allowed by the On/Off CoD record, and the remaining capacity for IFL processors of this record.
ICF=number
The number of temporary ICF processors that you want to have active. The target number must be higher than the number of active ICF processors, and is limited by the number of spare processors on the machine, the maximum number of ICF processors allowed by the On/Off CoD record, and the remaining capacity for ICF processors of this record.
SAP=number
The number of temporary SAP processors that you want to have active. The target number must be higher than the number of active SAP processors, and is limited by the number of spare processors on the machine, the maximum number of SAP processors allowed by the On/Off CoD record, and the remaining capacity for SAP processors of this record.

Example

To activate one zAAP for CPC G14, issue the following command:

MODIFY CPOSERV,APPL=ACTIVATE RESOURCE CPC=G14 ZAAP=1

or:

F CPOSERV,APPL=A R CPC=G14 ZAAP=1

The response on the console is:

CPO1026I Activation level change to 1 zAAPs successfully initiated for CPC G14
