PPU Terminology
The following terms are commonly used in conjunction with PPU:
configured processors
Processors that have been configured at the boot
interface and are now available for activation.
deconfigured processors
Processors that have not yet been configured at the
boot console interface (BCH). The iCOD software
cannot activate a processor that is deconfigured.
hard partition
A physical partitioning of a computer that divides the
computer into groups of cell boards where each group
operates independently of the other groups. A hard
partition can run a single instance of HP-UX or be
further divided into virtual partitions.
iCOD
The HP On Demand Solutions product that has a
pricing model based on purchasing processors. With
iCOD (instant Capacity On Demand) you initially
purchase a specified number of activated processors
and pay a right to access fee for a specified number of
deactivated processors. Whenever you activate an
additional processor you are charged an enablement
fee.
inactive cell
On a hardware-partitionable system, a cell that is
either powered off, or in a state prior to BCH, defined
as “waiting on SINC_BIB”.
inactive partition
A partition where all of the cells in the partition are
inactive.
